Synthesis of tripeptides as potent Yersinia protein tyrosine phosphatase inhibitors.
We report the synthesis of a series of monoanionic phosphotyrosyl (pTyr) mimetic-containing tripeptides based on 'Fmoc-Glu(OBn)-Xxx-Leu-amide' (where Xxx = pTyr mimetic) and their N-terminally modified derivatives. The inhibitory potencies of compounds were tested against YopH and human PTP1B enzymes. Several compounds exhibited noteworthy activity against both YopH and PTP1B. Among the N-termi...
متن کاملInhibition of human leukocyte elastase by acetyl and trifluoroacetyl oligopeptide chloromethyl ketones.
The action of human leukocyte elastase on a series of acetyl and trifluoroacetyl tri-, tetra-, and pentapeptide chloromethyl ketones has been investigated. Leukocyte and pancreatic elastases react quite differently with these irreversible inhibitors. For instance, leukocyte elastase has a much lower affinity for the compounds than pancreatic elastase. On the other hand, the inhibition rate cons...
متن کاملCoumarinic derivatives as mechanism-based inhibitors of alpha-chymotrypsin and human leukocyte elastase.
Novel coumarinic derivatives were synthesized and tested for their inhibitory potency toward alpha-CT and HLE. Cycloalkyl esters and amides were found to be essentially inactive on both enzymes. On the opposite, aromatic esters strongly inactivated alpha-CT whereas HLE was less efficiently inhibited with dichlorophenyl ester derivatives (kinact/K(I) = 4000 M(-1) s(-1) for 36). Representative ex...
متن کاملEnzymatic Studies of Isoflavonoids as Selective and Potent Inhibitors of Human Leukocyte 5-Lipo-Oxygenase.
Continuing our search to find more potent and selective 5-LOX inhibitors, we present now the enzymatic evaluation of seventeen isoflavones (IR) and nine isoflavans (HIR), and their in vitro and in cellulo potency against human leukocyte 5-LOX. Of the 26 compounds tested, 10 isoflavones and 9 isoflavans possessed micromolar potency, but only three were selective against 5-LOX (IR-2, HIR-303, and...
متن کاملHuman leukocyte elastase inhibitors: designed variants of human pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor (hPSTI).
Variants of human secretory trypsin inhibitor were constructed with the aim of producing inhibitors specific for human leukocyte elastase. Models of the hPSTI/HLE and hPSTI/chymotrypsin complexes were generated by computer aided protein design and used to plan better HLE inhibitors. This resulted in the production of the strongest and most specific inhibitors of HLE known.
