Chemical structures
of compounds 6 and 14, 20.
The common substructure shared by the KLK5/KLK7
inhibitors is black. The substituents 2-methylthiophene (red), phenyl
(blue) in 20 are replaced by benzyl (red), N-Cbz-l-proline (blue) moieties, respectively, in compounds 6 and 14. The green oxygen highlights the amide-to-ester
substitution between 6 and 14.
