Abstract
Various amino acid and peptide thioesters were tested as substrates for human proteinase 3 and the best substrate is Boc-Ala-Ala-Nva-SBzl with a kcat/Km value of 1.0 x 10(6) M-1.s-1. Boc-Ala-Ala-AA-SBzl (AA = Val, Ala, or Met) are also good substrates with kcat/Km values of (1-4) x 10(5) M-1.s-1. Substituted isocoumarins are potent inhibitors of proteinase 3 and the best inhibitors are 7-amino-4-chloro-3-(2-bromoethoxy)isocoumarin and 3,4-dichloroisocoumarin (DCI) with kobs/[I] values of 4700 and 2600 M-1.s-1, respectively. Substituted isocoumarins, peptide phosphonates and chloromethyl ketones inhibited proteinase 3 less potently than human neutrophil elastase (HNE) by 1-2 orders of magnitude.Entities:
