Conformationally restricted arginine analogues (1-5) were synthesized and found to be alternative substrates or inhibitors of the three isozymes of nitric oxide synthase (NOS). A comparison of k(cat)/K-m values shows that (E)-3,4-didehydro-D,L-arginine(1) is a much better substrate than the corresponding (Z)-isomer (2) and 3-guanidino-D,L-phenylglycine (3), although none is as good a substrate as is arginine; 5-keto-D,L-arginine (4) is not a substrate, but is an inhibitor of the three isozymes. Therefore, it appears that arginine binds to all of the NOS isozymes in an extended (E-like) conformation. None of the compounds exhibits time-dependent inhibition of NOS, but they are competitive reversible inhibitors. Based on the earlier report that NW-propyl-L-arginine is a highly selective nNOS inhibitor (Zhang, H. Q.; Fast, W.; Marletta, M.; Martasek, P.; Silverman, R. B. J. Med. Chem. 1997, 40, 3869), (E)-N-omega-propyl-3,4-didehydro-D,L-arginine (5) was synthesized, but it was shown to be weakly potent and only a mildly selective inhibitor of NOS. Imposing conformational rigidity on an arginine backbone does not appear to be a favorable approach for selective NOS inhibition. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
