The synthesis and development of N-terminal peptidic boronic acids as protease inhibitors is reported. N-Terminal peptidic boronic acids interrogate the S′ sites of the target protein for selectivity and provide a new strategy that complements the currently known peptidic α-amino boronic acids (C-terminal boronic acids). After screening a series of N-terminal peptidic boronic acids, the first selective inhibitor of human ClpXP, an ATP-dependent serine protease present in the mitochondrial matrix, was discovered. This should facilitate the understanding of the physiological function of this protease
报告了作为蛋白酶抑制剂的 N 端肽硼酸的合成和开发。N 端肽硼酸可询问目标蛋白的 S′位点以获得选择性,并提供了一种新策略,补充了目前已知的肽α-氨基硼酸(C 端硼酸)。在筛选了一系列 N 端肽硼酸之后,我们发现了人类 ClpXP(线粒体基质中的一种 ATP 依赖性丝氨酸蛋白酶)的首个选择性抑制剂。这将有助于了解这种蛋白酶的生理功能
