Inhibition of porcine pepsin by two substrate analogs containing statine. The effect of histidine at the P2 subsite on the inhibition of aspartic proteinases
摘要:
Two new inhibitors, 4 and 5, of the aspartic proteinase porcine pepsin were synthesized. These compounds, which span the P4-P'3 binding subsites of the enzyme, were derived by replacing the Nph-Phe dipeptidyl unit of a good pepsin substrate, H2N-Phe-Gly-His-Nph-Phe-Ala-Phe-OMe (3), with statine [(3S,4S)-4-amino-3-hydroxy-6-methylheptanoic acid, Sta]. Hexapeptide 5, H2N-Phe-Gly-Val-(S,S)-Sta-Ala-Phe-OMe, is an extremely potent inhibitor of pepsin with a Ki value less than 1 nM. This result is consistent with the proposal that statine functions as a bioisosteric replacement for a substrate dipeptidyl unit. Compound 4, which contains His at P2, is 2 orders of magnitude less active than the valine analogue 5 (Ki = 150 nM). The factor for the decrease in binding to pepsin effected by replacement of Val by His at P2 parallels the ratio of protonated vs unprotonated imidazole group in peptide 4 at pH 4, according to the Henderson-Hasselbach equation. This result suggests that a positively charged side chain at P2 is undesirable for maximum pepsin inhibition. Kinetic constants for several known inhibitors of pepsin and renin are presented that demonstrate that the effect of His incorporation at P2 on pepsin inhibition depends upon the peptide sequence and that the effect is considerably different for renin inhibitors. We further suggest that the high selectivity of potent renin inhibitors known to be only weak pepsin and cathepsin D inhibitors is due in part to the extent of histidine protonation at P2 arising from pH differences in the inhibition kinetics assay of renin (neutral conditions) compared to other aspartic proteinases (acid pH 2-4).

which the polarities of the two reactants are reversed (German, umpolung) during carbon–nitrogen bond formation relative to traditional approaches. The use of nitroalkanes as acyl anion equivalents provides a conceptually innovative approach to amide and peptide synthesis, and one that might ultimately provide for efficient peptide synthesis that is fully reliant on enantioselective methods.

A Ni-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling between α-C-tosyl peptides and Csp2 triflates/halides has been developed. This protocol enables the formation of various unnatural di- and tripeptides containing vinyl and aryl side chains, and it expands the applications of Ni-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling in late-stage diversification of peptides.

A series of pepstatin analogues having structural variations in the P2', P1', and P2 positions have been synthesized and tested for inhibition of porcine pepsin. The standard peptide for this study was Iva-Sta-Val-Ala-Iaa. Structural variations in the P2' and P1' positions have relatively little effect on Ki; however, small variations in the P2 position have a more dramatic effect on Ki and time-dependent

state conformations for peptides of this family, as well as the dynamic processes associated with conformational equilibria, underscore not only the challenge of designing peptide-based catalysts, but also the difficulty in predicting their accessible transition states. These findings implicate the advantages of low-barrier interconversions between conformations of peptide-based catalysts for multistep
