Synthesis of peptidyl fluoromethyl ketones and peptidyl .alpha.-keto esters as inhibitors of porcine pancreatic elastase, human neutrophil elastase, and rat and human neutrophil cathepsin G
摘要:
Comparison of MeO-Suc-Val-Pro-Phe-CO2Me (29) and MeO-Suc-Ala-Ala-Pro-Phe- CO2Me (25) with their corresponding trifluoromethyl ketones 9a and 9b, respectively, in rat and human neutrophil cathepsin G assays showed the alpha-keto esters to be more potent inhibitors. Likewise, Ac-Pro-Ala-Pro-Ala-CO2Me (21) was more potent than its corresponding trifluoromethyl ketone (9c) in both porcine pancreatic elastase and human neutrophil elastase assays. Within a set of Ala-Ala-Pro-Val-CF3 elastase inhibitors, the carbobenzyloxy (Cbz) N-protecting group conferred greater potency as a P5 site recognition unit for elastase than did dansyl, methoxysuccinyl, or tert-butyloxycarbonyl. Initial inhibition of elastase was greater when trifluoromethyl ketone 9f was added from a stock solution of dimethyl sulfoxide than when it had been buffer-equilibrated prior to assay, which suggests that the nonhydrated ketone is the more effective form of the inhibitor. The most potent elastase inhibitor we report is Na-(Ad-SO2)-N epsilon-(MeO-Suc)Lys-Pro-Val-CF3 (16) which has a Ki of 0.58 nM.

This invention relates to analogs of peptidase substrates in which the amide group containing the scissile amide bond of the substrate peptide has been replaced by an activated electrophilic ketone moiety. These analogs of the peptidase substrates provide specific enzyme inhibitors for a variety of proteases, the inhibition of which will have useful physiological consequences in a variety of disease states.
