The culprit behind adult T-cell leukemia, myelopathy/tropical paraparesis, and a plethora of inflammatory diseases is the human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-I). We recently unveiled a potent hexapeptidic HTLV-I protease inhibitor, KNI-10166, composed mostly of natural amino acid residues. Herein, we report the derivation of potent tetrapeptidic inhibitor KNI-10516, possessing only non-natural amino acid residues.
