Click chemistry based rapid one-pot synthesis and evaluation for protease inhibition of new tetracyclic triazole fused benzodiazepine derivatives.

We describe herein a one-pot synthesis of novel tetracyclic scaffolds that incorporate a fusion of a proline, 1,2,3-triazole ring with [1,4]-benzodiazepin-8(4H)-one ring systems following click chemistry. The expected peptide bond formation followed by in situ 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition in absence of any catalyst led to the formation of new triazole fused benzodiazepine derivatives.
