Peptide glyoxals: a novel class of inhibitor for serine and cysteine proteinases.
A series of novel synthetic dipeptides, containing a C-terminal glyoxal grouping (-COCHO), have been tested as inhibitors against typical members of the serine- and cysteine-proteinase families. For example, the sequences benzyloxycarbonyl (Cbz)-Pro-Phe-CHO (I) and Cbz-Phe-Ala-CHO (II), which fulfil the known primary and secondary specificity requirements of chymotrypsin and cathepsin B respect...
متن کاملThe synthesis of peptidylfluoromethanes and their properties as inhibitors of serine proteinases and cysteine proteinases.
A synthesis of peptidylfluoromethanes is described that utilizes the conversion of phthaloyl amino acids into their fluoromethane derivatives. These can be deblocked and elongated. The inactivation of chymotrypsin by Cbz-Phe-CH2F (benzyloxycarbonylphenylalanylfluoromethane) was found to be considerably slower than that of the analogous chloromethane. The fluoromethane analogue inactivates chymo...
متن کاملActivation of human neutrophil gelatinase by endogenous serine proteinases.
The role of serine proteinases and oxidants in the activation of gelatinase released from human neutrophils was investigated. Gelatinase was measured by its ability to degrade both gelatin and native glomerular basement-membrane type IV collagen. When fMet-Leu-Phe or phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate was used to stimulate the neutrophils, no gelatinase activity was measured in the absence of a me...
متن کاملPurification and characterisation of cysteine proteinases from human osteoclastomas.
The process of normal bone remodeling requires the continual resorption and replacement of bone mineral and bone matrix proteins. Excessive bone resorption is a feature of a number of pathological conditions. These include osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis and Paget's disease [l]. Bone resorption is accomplished by the osteoclast. Osteoclasts attached to bone are highly polarised cells [2]. Th...
متن کاملDifferential effects of anti-inflammatory agents on lysosomal cysteine proteinases cathepsins B and H from rat spleen.
The reactivity and specificity of commonly used anti-inflammatory agents with lysosomal cysteine proteinases cathepsins B and H purified from rat spleen have been investigated. Of the different agents tested, flufenamic acid and indomethacin were known to be potent inhibitors of cathepsin B. A half-maximal inhibition of the activity of cathepsin B was achieved at drug concentrations of 7.6 X 10...
