This invention is directed generally to peptide compounds and salts, and particularly to peptide compounds and salts that are useful as protease substrates, such as matrix metalloprotease (“MMP”) substrates. This invention also is directed to methods for making such compounds and salts, as well as amino acids that may, for example, be used in such methods. This invention is further directed to methods for using such compounds and salts to, for example, evaluate the effectiveness of potential protease inhibitors and to detect or monitor a disease associated with protease activity.
该发明通常涉及肽化合物和盐,特别是肽化合物和盐,它们可作为蛋白酶底物,例如基质金属蛋白酶(“MMP”)底物。该发明还涉及制备这类化合物和盐的方法,以及可能用于这类方法中的氨基酸。该发明还进一步涉及使用这类化合物和盐的方法,例如用于评估潜在的蛋白酶抑制剂的有效性,以及检测或监测与蛋白酶活性相关的疾病。
