A series of mechanism-based inhibitors designed to interact with the S' subsites of serine proteases was synthesized and their inhibitory activity toward the closely-related serine proteases human neutrophil elastase (HNE) and proteinase 3 (PR 3) was investigated. The compounds were found to be time-dependent inhibitors of HNE and were devoid of any inhibitory activity toward PR 3. The results suggest that highly selective inhibitors of serine proteases whose primary substrate specificity and active sites are similar can be identified by exploiting differences in their S' subsites. The best inhibitor (compound 16) had a k(inact)/K(I) value of 4580 M(-1)s(-1).
合成了一系列旨在与丝氨酸蛋白酶的 S' 亚位点相互作用的基于机制的抑制剂,并研究了它们对密切相关的丝氨酸蛋白酶人中性粒细胞弹性蛋白酶(HNE)和蛋白酶 3(PR 3)的抑制活性。发现这些化合物是 HNE 的时间依赖性抑制剂,对 PR 3 没有任何抑制活性。结果表明,通过利用其 S' 亚位点的差异,可以鉴定出主要底物特异性和活性位点相似的丝氨酸蛋白酶的高选择性抑制剂。最佳抑制剂(化合物 16)的 k(inact)/K(I) 值为 4580 M(-1)s(-1)。
