Aza-peptide epoxides, a new class of irreversible protease inhibitors, are specific for the clan CD cysteine proteases. The inhibitors have second-order rate constants up to 10(5) M(-1) s(-1), with the most potent epoxides having the S,S stereochemistry. The aza-Asn derivatives are effective legumain inhibitors, while the aza-Asp epoxides were specific for caspases. The inhibitors have little or no inhibition with other proteases such as chymotrypsin, papain, or cathepsin B.
氮杂肽环氧化物是一类新型的不可逆蛋白酶抑制剂,对CD家族半胱氨酸蛋白酶具有特异性。这些抑制剂的二级速率常数高达10⁵ M⁻¹ s⁻¹,最有效的环氧化物具有S,S立体化学结构。氮杂天冬酰胺衍生物是有效的天冬酰胺酶抑制剂,而氮杂天冬氨酸环氧化物对胱天蛋白酶具有特异性。这些抑制剂对其他蛋白酶如胰凝乳蛋白酶、木瓜蛋白酶或组织蛋白酶B几乎没有抑制作用。
