Method of making the Furin/PC inhibitors, chemical and biological characterization of the Furin/PC inhibitors, and the use of the Furin/PC inhibitors to o treat infectious diseases, cancers, and inflammatory/autoimmune disorders, are also disclosed. INHIBITORS OF FURIN AND OTHER PRO-PROTEIN CONVERTASES CROSS-REFERENCE [0001] The present application claims benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/61 1,967, filed on March 16, 2012, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. BACKGROUND [0002] Furin belongs to the subtilisin-like proprotein convertase family. Furin is a proprotein convertase that processes latent precursor proteins into their biologically active products. It is a calcium-dependent serine endoprotease that cleaves precursor proteins at their paired basic amino acid processing sites. Some of the Furin substrates are: proparathyroid hormone, transforming growth factor beta 1 precursor, prealbumin, pro-beta-secretase, membrane type-1 matrix metalloproteinase, beta subunit of pro-nerve growth factor and von Willebrand factor. SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE [0003] Disclosed herein, in certain embodiments, are compounds having the general structure I or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof: A compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, stereoisomer, tautomer, or prodrug thereof: wherein R is alkyl, cycloalkyl, heteroalicyclyl, aryl, or heteroaryl; R2 is alkyl, cycloalkyl, or heteroalicyclyl; R is -Z-guanidine or -Z-C(NH 2)=NH, wherein Z is aryl or heteroaryl; is -W-C(NH 2)=NR', wherein W is aryl, thiophenyl, furanyl, oxazolyl, pyrrolyl, or picolinyl; and wherein R' is hydrogen or hydroxyl; R5 is -U-guanidine, wherein U is alkyl, cycloalkyl, heteroalicyclyl, aryl, or heteroaryl; X= -C¾-, -CH2-CH2-, -CH2NHC(=0)-, -CH2CH2C(=0)NH-, or -CH2C(=0)NH-; Y is -CH 2-,-S(=0) 2-, or -C(=0)-.
