Abstract
Flemingia philippinensis has been used throughout history to cure rheumatism associated with neutrophil elastase (NE). In this study, we isolated sixteen NE inhibitory flavonoids (1-16), including the most potent and abundant prenyl isoflavones (1-9), from the F. philippinensis plant. These prenyl isoflavones (2, 3, 5, 7, and 9) competitively inhibited NE, with IC50 values of 1.3-12.0 μM. In addition, they were reversible, simple, slow-binding inhibitors according to their respective parameters. Representative compound 3 had an IC50 = 1.3 μM, k3 = 0.04172 μM-1 min-1, k4 = 0.0064 min-1, and Kiapp = 0.1534 μM. The Kik/Kiv ratios (18.5 ∼ 24.6) for compound 3 were consistent with typical competitive inhibitors. The prenyl functionality of isoflavones significantly affected inhibitory potencies and mechanistic behavior by shifting the competitive mode to a noncompetitive one. The remaining flavonoids (10-16) were confirmed as mixed type I inhibitors that preferred to bind free enzyme rather than the enzyme-substrate complex. Fluorescence quenching analyses indicated that the inhibitory potency (IC50) closely followed the binding affinity (KSV).

Abstract
The affinity-labeling of cysteinyl proteinases may now be carried out with a number of peptide-derived reagents with selectivity, particularly for reactions carried out in vitro. These reagents have been described with emphasis on their selectivity for cysteine proteinases and lack of action on serine proteinases, the most likely source of side reactions among proteinases. Perhaps a crucial feature of this selectivity is an enzyme-promoted activation due to initial formation of a hemiketal, which may destabilize the reagent. Prominent among the reagent types that have this class selectivity are the peptidyl diazomethyl ketones, the acyloxymethyl ketones, the peptidylmethyl sulfonium salts, and peptidyl oxides analogous to E-64. The need for specific inhibitors capable of inactivating the target enzyme in intact cells and animals is inevitably pushing the biochemical application of these inhibitors into more complex molecular environments where the possibilities of competing reactions are greatly increased. In dealing with the current state and potential developments for the in vivo use of affinity-labeling reagents of cysteine proteinases, the presently known variety of cysteinyl proteinases had to be considered. Therefore this chapter has, at the same time, attempted to survey these proteinases with respect to specificity and gene family. The continual discovery of new proteinases will increase the complexity of this picture. At present the lysosomal cysteine proteinases cathepsins B and L and the cytoplasmic calcium-dependent proteinases are reasonable goals for a fairly complete metabolic clarification. The ability of investigators to inactivate individual members of this family in vivo, possibly without complications due to concurrent inactivation of serine proteinases by improvements in reagent specificity, is increasing. Among the cysteine proteinases, at least those of the papain super family, hydrophobic interactions in the S2 and S3 subsites are important and some specificity has been achieved by taking advantage of topographical differences among members of this group. Some of this has probably involved surface differences removed from the regions involved in proteolytic action. The emerging cysteine proteinases include some which, in contrast to the papain family, have a pronounced specificity in S1 for the binding of basic side chains, familiar in the trypsin family of serine proteinases. At least a potential conflict with serine proteinases can be avoided by choice of a covalent bonding mechanism. The departing group region, has not been exploited. As a sole contributor to binding, this region may be rather limited as a source of specificity.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Elastase/anti-elastase imbalance is a hallmark of emphysema, a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease associated with the rupture and inefficient repair of interstitial elastin. We report that neutrophil elastase (NE) at low physiologic concentrations, ranging from 35 nm to 1 microm, invokes transient, peaking at 15 min, activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK) in elastogenic lung fibroblasts. ERK activation is preceded by the release of soluble 25-26-kDa forms of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and transactivation of EGF receptor (EGFR) in NE-exposed cells. The stimulatory effect of NE on ERK is abrogated in the presence of anti-EGF-neutralizing antibodies, EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (AG1478), and ERK kinase inhibitor (PD98059), as well as abolished in both EGFR-desensitized and endocytosis-arrested fibroblasts. Nuclear accumulation of activated ERK is associated with transient, peaking at 30 min, induction of c-Fos and sustained, observed at 24-48 h, decrease of tropoelastin mRNA levels in NE-challenged cells. Pretreatment of fibroblasts with AG1478 or PD98059 abrogates the NE-initiated tropoelastin mRNA suppression. We conclude that proteolytically released EGF signals directly via EGFR and ERK to down-regulate tropoelastin mRNA in NE-challenged lung fibroblasts.

Abstract
The synthesis and in vitro enzyme inhibition profile of a series of novel trifluoromethylketone (TFMK) inhibitors of human plasma kallikrein (PK) are described. We have developed an efficient method for the construction of peptide TFMKs that provides the final product devoid of compromised stereochemical integrity. Many of these compounds are potent inhibitors of PK and exhibit reduced inhibition of tissue kallikrein (TK) and plasmin (HP).

Abstract
Several macromolecular inhibitors of human leukocyte elastase (HLE) were prepared by covalently bonding a low molecular weight HLE inhibitor peptidyl carbamate, p-nitrophenyl-N-[succinyl-L-alanyl-L-ananyl-L-prolylmethyl]- N-isopropyl carbamate 1, with the neutral hydrophilic polymer, poly-alpha,beta-[N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-D,L-aspartamide], PHEA 2. These novel polymeric compounds differed in the molecular size of their PHEA polymer backbone and the extent of loading of the peptidyl carbamate, (PC). They were shown to efficiently inhibit HLE (Ki = 97 to 12.8 nM) as intact macromolecular entities and were found to be more stable to hydrolysis than the non-polymer bound low molecular weight inhibitor 1. The inhibition of HLE by the novel macromolecular inhibitors was found to be noncompetitive and reversible, proceeding via slow formation of inhibitor-enzyme complex. The effect of loading of 1 and molecular size of the PHEA 2 polymer on enzymatic parameters Ki, kon and koff is discussed and a possible mechanism of inhibition is presented.

Abstract
The possible role of long-range electrostatic interactions on the catalytic activity of the serine protease subtilisin BPN' is investigated using protein engineering techniques. Charged residues on the surface of the enzyme some 13-15 A from the active site were mutated to either neutral or oppositely charged residues. The effect of these mutations on the stability of a complex formed between subtilisin BPN' and Z-Ala-Ala-Pro-Phe-trifluoromethyl ketone, a transition-state inhibitor of the enzyme, was measured. The values of Ki for the complex between the trifluoromethyl ketone and wild-type and mutant subtilisins were used to study the possible contribution of long-range electrostatics in stabilizing the charge distribution in the complex and thus, by analogy, on the transition state of hydrolysis for subtilisin BPN'. Measurement of kon, koff, and Ki for the inhibition of wild-type and mutant subtilisins showed that charged mutations distant from the active site can affect koff and Ki but have little effect on kon. The experimental results show that there is a small, 0.10-0.46 kcal mol-1, but significant contribution to the binding energy from distant surface charges, at low ionic strength. The experimental results were compared to theoretical results, calculated using the DelPhi program for different charge distributions in the complex. The experimental results were found to be most consistent with a complex in which an ion pair is formed between the protonated active site histidine and the ionized oxyanion. Both experimental and theoretical results suggest that long-range electrostatic interactions do play a role in stabilizing the transition-state complex formed between enzyme and inhibitor.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The effect of porcine pancreatic elastase (PPE)-induced proteolysis of the extracellular matrix on elastin biosynthesis in neonatal rat aortic smooth muscle cell cultures (NRSMC) was examined. The quantity of insoluble elastin remaining in the damaged cultures decreased with increasing amounts of enzyme used, however no significant cell damage was demonstrated. The accumulation of soluble elastin (tropoelastin) was examined in enzyme injured and control cultures by radiolabelling with [3H]-valine for 4 hours. The tropoelastin content of both the cell layer and media were less in injured cultures on the day of injury and up to one week later when compared to control cultures. In addition, experiments in which cultures were radiolabelled for 15 minutes demonstrated that the biosynthesis of tropoelastin was decreased in the enzyme treated cultures. Moreover, the incorporation of radiolabelled elastin into the insoluble matrix also decreased. Steady-state levels of elastin mRNA showed no differences between injured and control cultures, which suggested that elastin synthesis is affected at a translational or post-translational level.

Abstract
Elastase inhibitors are potential drugs for the control of lung emphysema. Since neutrophils may release elastase in the lung interstitium, elastin and inhibitors may complete locally for the binding of enzyme. To better evaluate the potential activity of antielastases, we have run experiments that mimic this in vivo competition. Elastase was added to mixtures of human lung elastin and inhibitor, and the solubilization of the fibrous substrate was measured as a function of time. Controls in which a synthetic substrate was used instead of elastin were run under identical conditions. We show that the rate constants for the irreversible inhibition of elastase by methoxysuccinyl-Ala2-Pro-Val-chloromethylketone and L-657,229, a substituted beta lactam, are 28- and 63-fold lower with elastin than with a synthetic substrate, respectively. The rate constant decreases with increasing concentrations of elastin, indicating that the inhibition is competitive. Elastin also impairs the potency of the following reversible inhibitors: trifluoroacetyl-Lys-Ala-NH-C6H4-p-C6H11, trifluoroacetyl-Lys-Ala-NH-C6H4-pN(C2H5)2, methoxysuccinyl-Ala2-Pro-Boro-Val-OH, and mucus proteinase inhibitor whose Ki values are 29- to 127-fold higher with elastin than with a synthetic substrate. Again the inhibition is competitive. We conclude that association rate constants of irreversible inhibitors and Ki values of reversible ones may be measured accurately using elastin as a substrate. The kinetic constants measured with elastin and not those determined with synthetic substrates should be used to decide whether a given inhibitor is potent enough to be a physiologic antielastase or a potential antielastase drug.

Abstract
We have synthesized a series of peptidyl fluoroketones that reversibly inhibit the serine proteases human leukocyte elastase (HLE) and alpha-lytic protease (alpha-LP). Ac-ambo-AlaCF3 (1) inhibits HLE and alpha-LP with Ki's of 2.4 and 15 mM, respectively. The effects of structural variations on this parent compound on Ki and the kinetics of inhibition were studied. The acetyl group was replaced by the tripeptide Z-L-Ala-L-Ala-L-Pro to yield the tetrapeptide trifluoroketone (TFK) Z-L-Ala-L-Ala-L-Pro-ambo-AlaCF3 (2). This extension reduced Ki 3500-fold for HLE and 3000-fold for alpha-LP. Removal of a fluorine atom from a TFK decreases Ki about 15- to 30-fold with both enzymes. Replacement of one fluorine atom of 2 by a residue (-CH2-CH2-COLeuOMe) (6) which can interact with the S'1 and S'2 subsites decreased Ki 30-fold for HLE and 150-fold for alpha-LP compared to Z-L-Ala-L-Ala-L-Pro-ambo-AlaCF2H (3). The Ki of 6 for HLE is approximately equal to that of trifluoroketone 2. For alpha-LP Ki of 6 is 10-fold lower than that for the trifluoroketone 2. Inhibitors with Ki values less than 10(-7) M exhibit slow binding kinetics. By analogy to cholinesterases and chymotrypsin, it is likely that these enzymes combine with the keto form of the inhibitor to form the enzyme-inhibitor complex. Therefore, kon and Ki were corrected for the ketone concentration. The corrected kon values for the slow binding inhibitors are in most cases less than diffusion controlled, ranging between 8.2 X 10(4) and 4.68 X 10(6) M-1 s-1. An exception is Z-L-Ala-L-Ala-L-Pro-ambo-ValCF3 (8) where kon = 9 X 10(7) M-1 s-1, which is nearly diffusion controlled.

Abstract
Seven arginylfluoroalkanes ('arginine fluoroalkyl ketones') were synthesized by using a modified Dakin-West procedure. The structure of benzoyl-Arg-CF2CF3 was analysed by 19F-n.m.r. spectroscopy and m.s. and the compound was shown to exist primarily as a hydrate or cyclic carbinolamine. Arginylfluoroalkanes are good inhibitors of blood-coagulation serine proteinases and were found to be slow-binding inhibitors for bovine trypsin with Ki values of 0.2-56 microM. Benzoyl-Arg-CF2CF3 was the best inhibitor for bovine thrombin and human Factor XIa, and inhibited thrombin and Factor XIa competitively with Ki values of 13 microM and 62 microM respectively. The best inhibitor for pig pancreatic kallikrein was p-toluoyl-Arg-CF3, with a Ki value of 35 microM. Benzoyl-Arg-CF3 and benzoyl-Arg-CF2CF3 inhibited human plasma kallikrein competitively, with Ki values of 50 microM. None of the seven arginylfluoroalkanes was a good inhibitor of human factor Xa or of Factor XIIa. The arginylfluoroalkanes were tested in the prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) coagulant assays. Two fluoroketones, benzoyl-Arg-CF2CF3 and 1-naphthoyl-Arg-CF3, had significant anticoagulant activity. Benzoyl-Arg-CF2CF3 was found to prolong the PT 1.8-fold at 120 microM and to prolong the APTT 2.4-fold at 90 microM, whereas 1-naphthoyl-Arg-CF3 only prolonged the APTT 1.7-fold at 100 microM.

Abstract
Some 20 years ago, affinity labelling was introduced to help gather information on active-site catalytic groups and the mechanisms of proteolytic enzymes. Now this knowledge is used to produce specific and selective inhibitors for these enzymes. The concept of "biospecific drug design" has stimulated progress in turning the inhibitors into therapeutically applicable agents. For instance, sales of antihypertensive drugs based on inhibitors of the angiotensin converting enzyme are expected to be over 2 billion US-$ in 1992. This partly illustrates the efforts made by many researchers to introduce strategies in potease inhibition for medicinal purposes. This review discusses some of the concepts.

Abstract
Inhibition of the cysteine proteinase cathepsin B by a series of N-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-phenylalanyl-L-alanine ketones and the analogous aldehyde has been investigated. Surprisingly, whereas the aldehyde was found to be almost as potent a competitive reversible inhibitor as the natural peptidyl aldehyde, leupeptin, the corresponding trifluoromethyl ketone showed comparatively weak (and slow-binding) reversible inhibition. Evaluation of competitive hydration and hemithioketal formation in a model system led to a structure-activity correlation spanning several orders of magnitude in both cathepsin B inhibition constants (Ki) and model system equilibrium data (KRSH,apparent).

Abstract
SC-39026, (+/-) 2-chloro-4-(1-hydroxyoctadecyl)benzoic acid, inhibits human neutrophil elastase with an IC50 of 0.5 microM (KI of 1.5 microM). Its inhibition of elastase is reversible and noncompetitive at low concentrations (0.5-1.25 microM). Inhibition is "mixed" at higher inhibitor concentrations. SC-39026 is inactive against hog pancreatic elastase, bovine alpha-chymotrypsin and Pseudomonas aeruginosa elastase, but does inhibit human neutrophil cathepsin G with an IC50 of approximately 2.5 microM. Neutrophil elastases isolated from rat, hamster, rabbit and hog are also inhibited by SC-39026.
