The four stereoisomers of 3-(N-acetylleucylamino)-3-benzyl-1-[(methylsulfonyl)oxy]succinimid e have been prepared and shown to inhibit alpha-chymotrypsin and human neutrophil elastase. The structural and stereochemical features that affect the potency and selectivity of inhibition are discussed.
Four new peptide-based renin inhibitors, Boc-Phe(4-OMe)-MePhe-AHPPA-epsilon Ahx-EA (11), Boc-Phe(4-OMe)-MeLeu-AHP-PA-epsilon Ahx-EA (15), Boc-Phe(4-OMe)-MePhe-Sta-epsilon Ahx-EA (20) and Boc-Phe(4-OMe)-MeLeu-Sta-epsilon Ahx-EA (21) have been synthesized in search of structures with improved biological properties. They were designed as compounds with moderate hydrophobicity (5.28, 4.79, 4.79 and 4.30), respectively. All synthesized inhibitors were resistant to chymotrypsin activity, all were poorly soluble in buffers pH 2.0 and pH 7.4. The inhibitory potency of renin activity in vitro of 11, 15, 20 and 21 expressed as IC50 was 7.0 x 10(-4), 7.5 x 10(-5), 6.0 x 10(-4) and 2.5 x 10(-4) M/l, respectively.
TentaGel, ArgoGel and PEGA resins were evaluated for on-bead biological screening, using a fluorescently-labelled peptide attached to each and assayed for papain activity. Peptide attached to PEGA was cleaved in near quantitative yield at the expected sites, whilst an identical sequence on TentaGel and ArgoGel beads was hydrolysed in very low yields and nonspecifically on ArgoGel. The compatibility of PEGA with enzymes was further demonstrated by the determination of subsite specificities of papain and chymotrypsin using PEGA-bound peptide libraries, which proved to be similar to those observed in free solution.
