A series of tripeptides (Z-LLF-R) with various modifications at their C-terminus were synthesized and evaluated for their ability to prevent the activation of NF-kappa B through inhibition of I kappa B protease. Of the compounds evaluated only the C-terminal aldehydes 5a,b were active in our Jurkat T-cell based assay. Compound 5a also decreased IL-2 and IL-8 levels in these cells indicating that inhibitors of I kappa B protease can have an effect on various signaling pathways.
