Compounds capable of providing a therapeutic effect at a target site within a human or animal body with reduced systemic potency to said body are identified by comparing the susceptibility to hydrolysis of the compound in the presence of a purified lactonase enzyme or a recombinant form of it to the corresponding susceptibility in the absence of said lactonase enzyme, and then selecting a compound on the basis of enhanced susceptibility to hydrolysis in the presence of said lactonase enzyme
通过比较纯化的内酰环酶酶或其
重组形式存在时化合物的
水解敏感性与不存在时的相应敏感性,来确定在人或动物体内的目标部位提供治疗效果且对该体系的系统效能降低的化合物,然后根据在内酰环酶酶存在时增强
水解敏感性的基础上选择化合物。
