Dual metalloprotease inhibitors.v. Utilization of bicyclic azepinonethiazolidines and azepinonetetrahydrothiazines in constrained peptidomimetics of mercaptoacyl dipeptides

Abstract Incorporation of mercaptoacetyl or mercaptopropanoyl groups into azepinonethiazolidine and azepinonetetrahydrothiazine carboxylic acids provided conformationally restricted peptidomimetics of Ala-Pro exhibiting potent dual activity in vitro versus ACE and NEP.
