Abstract
Acylpeptide hydrolase is a serine protease, which, together with prolyl oligopeptidase, dipeptidyl peptidase IV and oligopeptidase B, belongs to the prolyl oligopeptidase family. Its primary function is associated with the removal of N-acetylated amino acid residues from proteins and peptides. Although the N-acylation occurs in 50-90 % of eukaryotic proteins, the precise functions of this modification remains unclear. Recent findings have indicated that acylpeptide hydrolase participates in various events including oxidized proteins degradation, amyloid β-peptide cleavage, and response to DNA damage. Considering the protein degradation cycle cross-talk between acylpeptide hydrolase and proteasome, inhibition of the first enzyme resulted in down-regulation of the ubiquitin-proteasome system and induction of cancer cell apoptosis. Acylpeptide hydrolase has been proposed as an interesting target for the development of new potential anticancer agents. Here, we present the synthesis of simple derivatives of (1-aminoethyl)phosphonic acid diaryl esters, phosphonic analogs of alanine diversified at the N-terminus and ester rings, as inhibitors of acylpeptide hydrolase and discuss the ability of the title compounds to induce apoptosis of U937 and MV-4-11 tumor cell lines.

Abstract
Herein, we report selection, synthesis, and enzymatic evaluation of a peptidomimetic library able to increase proteolytic activity of HtrA3 (high temperature requirement A) protease. Iterative deconvolution in solution of synthesized modified pentapeptides yielded two potent HtrA3 activators acting in the micromolar range (HCOO-CH2O-C6H4-OCH2-CO-Tyr-Asn-Phe-His-Asn-OH and HCOO-CH2O-C6H4-OCH2-CO-Tyr-Asn-Phe-His-Glu-OH). Both compounds increased proteolysis of an artificial HtrA3 substrate over 40-fold in a selective manner. On the basis of molecular modeling, the selected compounds bind strongly to the PDZ domain.

Abstract
Neutrophils are a type of granulocyte important in the "first line of defense" of the innate immune system. Upon activation, they facilitate the destruction of invading microorganisms by the production of superoxide radicals, as well as the release of the enzymatic contents of their lysozymes. These enzymes include specific serine proteases: cathepsin G, neutrophil elastase, proteinase 3, as well as the recently discovered neutrophil serine protease 4 (NSP4). Under normal conditions, the proteolytic activity of neutrophil proteases is tightly regulated by endogenous serpins; however, this mechanism can be subverted during tissue stress, thereby resulting in the uncontrolled activity of serine proteases, which induce chronic inflammation and subsequent pathology. Herein, we describe the development of low-molecular-weight activity-based probes that specifically target the active sites of neutrophil proteases.

Abstract
Herein, we describe the synthesis and resulting activity of a complex series of α-aminophosphonate diaryl esters as irreversible human neutrophil elastase inhibitors and their selectivity preference for human neutrophil elastase over several other serine proteases such as porcine pancreatic elastase, trypsin, and chymotrypsin. We synthesized and examined the inhibitory potency of several new simple Cbz-protected α-aminoalkylphosphonate diaryl esters that yielded several new HNE inhibitors, where one of the obtained compounds Cbz-Val(P)(OC(6)H(4)-4-COOMe)(2) displayed an apparent second-order inhibition value at 33,015 M(-1) s(-1).
