摘要:
Novel, potent inhibitors of aminopeptidase P, containing a 3-amino-2-hydroxy acid and a proline ora proline analogues, have been prepared. One part of the bestatin-derived inhibitors was found to inhibit APP from Excherichia coli and from rat intestine according to a mixed-type mechanism, with K-i values up to 1.26 mu M. The other compounds. 3-amino-2-hydroxy acyl prolines of a different configuration. inhibit APP competitively, according to a slow-binding mechanism, with K-i values in the nanomolar up to the micromolar range.
