Abstract
Cathepsin K (CK) is a cysteine protease that plays a major and essential role in osteoclast-mediated degradation of collagen matrix of bone. Its tissue-limited distribution and pivotal contribution to bone resorption meet the requirements as the potential therapeutic target of the disease with excessive bone loss such as osteoporosis. In a search for potent CK inhibitors. we found OST-5440 that effectively inhibited bone resorption in vivo as well as in vitro. (omitted)
