The synthesis, inhibitory activity and mode of action of oxazolidine-2,4-diones against porcine pancreatic elastase, here used as a model for human neutrophil elastase, are reported. The nature of N-substitution at the oxazolidine-2,4-dione scaffold has large effect on the inhibitory potency against elastase. N-Acyl and N-sulfonyloxazolidine-2,4-diones emerged as potent pseudo-irreversible inhibitors, displaying high second-order rate constants for PPE inactivation. The title compounds were also shown to be potent inhibitors of human neutrophil elastase (HNE) and proteinase-3, and weak inhibitors of human cathepsin G. The results herein presented show that the oxazolidine-2,4-diones represent a new promising class of serine protease inhibitors. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
