Fructosyl peptide oxidases (FPOXs) play a crucial role in the diagnosis of diabetes. Their main function is to cleave fructosyl amino acids or fructosyl peptides into glucosone and the corresponding amino acids/dipeptides. In this study, the substrate-analog FPOX inhibitors 1a-c were successfully designed and synthesized. These inhibitors mimic N-alpha-fructosyl-L-valine (Fru-Val), [N-alpha-fructosyl-L-valyl]-L-histidine (Fru-ValHis), and N-epsilon-fructosyl-L-lysine (epsilon Fru-Lys), respectively. The secondary nitrogen atom in the natural substrates, linking fructose and amino acid or dipeptide moieties, was substituted in 1a-c with a sulfur atom to avoid enzymatic cleavage. Kinetic studies revealed that 1a-c act as competitive inhibitors against an FPOX obtained from Coniochaeta sp., and K-i values of 11.1, 66.8, and 782 mu M were obtained for 1a-c, respectively.
