Coconut oil as an alternative to butter and shortening in bread making. J Food Sci 2024; 89:913-924. [PMID: 38221799 DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.16925] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2023] [Revised: 12/14/2023] [Accepted: 12/21/2023] [Indexed: 01/16/2024]
Abstract
The characteristics of bread prepared with coconut oil were investigated to determine whether it can be used as an alternative to butter and shortening. Loaf height of the bread increased by adding butter and shortening water content of bread containing oils and fats was lower than that without oils and fats, and baking loss increased with decreasing water content. The addition of oils and fats influenced the baking color of bread and hindered the hardening of bread samples over time. Moreover, the addition and type of oils and fats influenced the crust density of bread samples and dough expansion. Furthermore, numerous fine bubbles were present in bread samples without oils and fats, whereas the size and number of bubbles increased and decreased in bread samples containing oils and fats, respectively. The band concentrations of insoluble proteins at approximately 39, 41, and 48 kDa in freeze-dried bread samples without oils and fats were significantly lower than those containing oils and fats. Thirty volatile compounds were detected in all bread samples tested, and the number was high in the following order: bread samples with butter, shortening, and coconut oil, and without oils and fats. However, sensory evaluation showed no significant differences among all bread samples tested. Therefore, it was suggested that bread containing coconut oil had the same characteristics as that containing butter and shortening. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Butter and shortening are usually used in bread making, although bread prepared with coconut oil can possess the same characteristics as that containing them. Therefore, this study evaluated the characteristics of bread prepared with coconut oil and revealed that use of coconut oil enabled a vegan bread with reduced environmental impact because coconut oil is a vegetable-derived oil that does not require the cutting of tropical rainforests.

The correlation between denaturation of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and inactivation of Saccharomyces pastorianus cells by pressurised carbon dioxide microbubbles. Lett Appl Microbiol 2023; 76:7112098. [PMID: 37037782 DOI: 10.1093/lambio/ovad043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2022] [Revised: 03/08/2023] [Accepted: 04/07/2023] [Indexed: 04/12/2023]
Abstract
For the purpose of clarifying the relationship between pasteurization and inactivation of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) in Saccharomyces pastorianus cells induced by pressurised carbon dioxide microbubbles (CO2MB) treatment, a storage test of S. pastorianus cells after CO2MB treatment was conducted to ascertain their recovery, and the treatment condition in the inactivation of GAPDH in S. pastorianus cells by CO2MB was investigated. Each population of S. pastorianus for 48, 96 and 144 h at 25°C was decreased significantly by CO2MB treatment at 35°C for 3 min (MB35-3, and MB35-5) or at 40 and 45°C for 1 and 3 min (MB40-1, MB40-3 and MB45-1). In the storage test, recovery of treated cells was not observed after storage for 144 h at 25°C. The denaturation of GAPDH in the S. pastorianus cells caused by the same treatment as the storage test was detected by using sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. While, the activities at MB35-1, MB35-3, and MB40-1 were significantly higher than those at non-treatment, and those at MB35-5, MB40-3, and MB45-1 were lower. Therefore, GAPDH denaturation, but not the activity, was associated with the inactivation of S. pastorianus cells.

Relationship between intracellular protein denaturation and irreversible inactivation of Saccharomyces pastorianus by low-pressure carbon dioxide microbubbles. Biotechnol Prog 2022; 38:e3287. [PMID: 35815350 DOI: 10.1002/btpr.3287] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2022] [Revised: 06/19/2022] [Accepted: 07/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/12/2022]
Abstract
To clarify the relationship between irreversible inactivation and intracellular protein denaturation of Saccharomyces pastorianus by low-pressure carbon dioxide microbubbles (CO2 MB) treatment, a storage test of S. pastorianus cells treated with CO2 MB was performed, and the effect on the intracellular protein was investigated. In the storage test, the S. pastorianus population, which decreased below the detection limit by CO2 MB treatment at a temperature of 45 and 50°C (MB45 and MB50), and thermal treatment at a temperature of 80°C (T80), remained undetectable during storage for 3 weeks at 25°C. However, 4.1- and 1.3-logs of the S. pastorianus populations, which survived after CO2 MB treatment at temperatures of 35 and 40°C (MB35 and MB40), increased gradually during storage for 3 weeks at 25°C. Insolubilization of intracellular proteins in S. pastorianus increased with increasing the temperature of CO2 MB treatment. Activity of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) identified as one of the insolubilized proteins increased at MB35 and MB40 than non-treatment but disappeared at MB45 and MB50, and T80. Therefore, it was revealed that S. pastorianus cells inactivated below the detection level by CO2 MB treatment did not regrow and that the denaturation of intracellular proteins of S. pastorianus was caused by CO2 MB and thermal treatments. Furthermore, it was suggested that denaturation of intracellular vital enzymes was an important factor for achieving irreversible inactivation of S. pastorianus by CO2 MB and thermal treatments.

Determination of the Lethal Injury on the Inactivation of Saccharomyces pastorianus Cells by Low-pressure Carbon Dioxide Microbubbles. Curr Microbiol 2022; 79:120.

Abstract
To clarify the lethal injury related to the inactivation of Saccharomyces pastorianus cells by low-pressure carbon dioxide microbubble (CO2MB) treatment, surviving number, leakage of nucleic acids and proteins, fluorescence polarisation (FP) of the cell membrane, activity of alkaline phosphatase (AP), intracellular pH (pHin), mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), cell surface hydrophobicity (CSH) and oxidative stress of S. pastorianus treated with CO2MB at various temperatures were measured. The number of surviving S. pastorianus cells decreased below the detection limit after CO2MB treatment at temperatures of 40, 45 and 50 ℃, inducing a 2-log reduction at 35 ℃. The S. pastorianus cells treated with CO2MB at temperatures above 40 ℃ showed an increase in FP and leakage of nucleic acids and proteins. The AP in S. pastorianus cells treated with CO2MB at a temperature of 35 ℃ was also activated but inactivated at temperatures above 40 ℃. Furthermore, the decrease in pHin and MMP and the increase in CSH of S. pastorianus were caused by CO2MB treatment at temperatures above 35 ℃. Oxidative stress in S. pastorianus cells was also increased by CO2MB treatment without warming but decreased at temperatures above 35 ℃. Our results lead us to infer that the type of cell injury in S. pastorianus induced by CO2MB treatment differed from that caused by the treatment temperature and that the lethal injury was enzyme inactivation.

Dissolved carbon dioxide stripping while maintaining volatile components by feeding gaseous nitrogen using a microbubble generator. JOURNAL OF FOOD SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY 2022; 59:825-829.

Abstract
Dissolved carbon dioxide (dCO2) stripping from a model solution containing sake flavor by feeding gaseous nitrogen (N2) using a microbubble (MB) generator was investigated. The effect of dCO2 stripping by N2MB increased significantly with increasing flow rate of gaseous N2 from 100 to 200 mL/min. dCO2 stripping from 3,000 mL of the model solution was achieved by feeding N2MB at a flow rate of 200 mL/min for 4 min. Volatile components from model solution containing sake flavor were hardly reduced even after feeding N2MB at a flow rate of 200 mL/min for 15 min by cooling to below 10 °C. On the other hand, non-microbubbled gaseous N2 at a flow rate of 200 mL/min was not very effective in stripping dCO2. Therefore, the use of N2MB with cooling to below 10 °C was effective in stripping dCO2 while maintaining the volatile components in model solution containing sake flavor.

Abstract
Temperature-dependency on cell membrane injury and inactivation of Saccharomyces pastorianus by low-pressure carbon dioxide microbubbles (MBCO2) was investigated. The number of surviving S. pastorianus cells after MBCO2 treatment detected with yeast and mould agar (YMA, an optimum agar) was higher than that with YMA adding 2.5 g/L sodium chloride and yeast nitrogen base agar (a minimum agar). However, the decrease of the surviving number by thermal treatment was not changed among above agars used. The fluorescence polarization (FP), which indicated the phase transition of the membrane of S. pastorianus cells treated with MBCO2 increased with increasing temperature. The activity of the alkaline phosphatase (AP), a periplasmic enzyme, in S. pastorianus cells after MBCO2 and thermal treatments increased with the FP but was reduced by further increasing temperature. The FP and AP activities after MBCO2 treatment increased at a temperature lower than the temperature of the thermal treatment. In addition, intracellular pH of S. pastorianus decreased by the MBCO2 treatment at lower temperature with increasing pressure. Therefore, it was revealed that phase transition of the cell membrane and inactivation of S. pastorianus was caused by MBCO2 treatment at lower temperature than thermal treatment and that the effect was induced by the dissolved CO2 and increased with increasing pressure.

Abstract
The effect of ethanol on the inactivation of Saccharomyces pastorianus by a two-stage system with low-pressure carbon dioxide microbubbles (two-stage MBCO2 ) was investigated. Zero and >5 log reductions of S. pastorianus populations suspended in physiological saline (PS) containing 0% and 10% ethanol, respectively, occurred by the two-stage MBCO2 at a mixing vessel pressure of 1 MPa and a heating coil temperature of 40°C. Conversely, the detected number of surviving S. pastorianus cells in PS containing 5% ethanol was higher in yeast and mold agar (YMA, an optimum agar) than YMA with 2.5% sodium chloride, followed by yeast nitrogen base agar (YNBA, a minimum agar). The fluorescence polarization of S. pastorianus in PS containing 5% and 10% ethanol increased similarly with exposure time in the heating coil of two-stage MBCO2 and was correlated with the surviving cell number measured in YNBA. The intracellular pH (pHin ) of S. pastorianus in PS containing 5% ethanol decreased linearly with exposure time in the heating coil of two-stage MBCO2 . Also, the pHin -lowering of S. pastorianus in PS containing 10% ethanol was drastically caused by two-stage MBCO2 at 1 min exposure time in the heating coil but then stayed constant until 5 min, agreeing with the inactivation efficiency. Therefore, ethanol in S. pastorianus suspension was suggested to accelerate the cell membrane injury caused by two-stage MBCO2 . © 2017 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

Abstract
To determine optimal temperature of a two-stage system of low pressure carbon dioxide microbubbles (MB-CO2) for inactivating enzymes in unpasteurized sake (UPS), the effect of two-stage MB-CO2 containing a heating coil at various temperatures on the inactivation of the α-glucosidase in UPS was investigated, and the quality of the sake treated by two-stage MB-CO2 was estimated by sensory evaluation and component analysis. α-Glucosidase activity in the UPS was completely inactivated by two-stage MB-CO2 with a heating coil at 45 °C for 50 min, 55 °C for 5 min, 65 °C for 10 s (MB65), and 75 °C for 1 s, respectively. The quality of the MB65's sake was determined to be significantly excellent by the sensory evaluation. The reason was suggested to be due to relatively low contents of free amino acids, change in organic acid balance, and less damage to volatile compounds.

Abstract
A series of carboxylate compounds were prepared from N(alpha)-substituted 2,3-diaminopropionic acid and were tested for efficacy as matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitors. During modeling of the initial compound 10a, we utilized three-dimensional structure modeling software (InsightII/Discover Ver. 2.98). Some of the prepared carboxylate derivatives, such as carbamate compounds (12c,d, 22) and sulfonamide compounds (14b,c), proved to be effective MMP-1 inhibitors (with IC50 values of a 10(-6) M order), depending on the substituent at the N(alpha)-position of 2,3-diaminopropionic acid. Some of them were also evaluated for inhibition of stromelysin-1 (MMP-3), and the sulfonamide compound 14c exceeded the lead compound 5b in its MMP-3 inhibitory potency. For the carbamate compounds, we investigated the minimum molecular size at which the MMP-1 inhibitory potency was maintained, and found that this was P3-P1' compound 10b.

Abstract
The carbonation perception and sweetness perception were investigated under the presence of low level of carbondioxide less than 1.0 gas volume. Carbonation perception decreased linearly as carbonation level decreased. Sweetness perception showed inconsistency by means of evaluation methods: Triangle difference test led the result showing carbonation became a hindrance for sweetness perception. However, the measurement for the sweetness degree expressed by panellists in four categories 'not sweet', 'perhaps sweet', 'probably sweet' and 'definitely sweet', and the measurement for the points of subjective equality revealed that carbonation had no influence on sweetness perception. Commercially produced beverages whose irritation stimuli were stronger showed almost the same sweetness intensities (= perceived concentration of sucrose/actual concentration of sucrose) at approximately 0.7 regardless of various flavours. A weaker stimulus beverage, without strong flavour, showed higher sweetness intensity at 0.9. Some weaker stimuli beverages, which contained strong lemon flavour and soluble fibre, showed less sweetness intensities of 0.62-0.68 than the high-stimuli products.

Abstract
The release of volatile compounds from a cream style dressing, which consisted of a thickening agent dispersed in the water phase of an oil in water (o/w) type of emulsion, was studied by the purge-and-trap (PT), dynamic head space mastication (DHM) and dynamic headspace (DH) model systems for diacetyl and 2-heptanone as two volatile compounds. Big differences were detected in the quantity of volatiles released by the three models for both diacetyl and 2-heptanone: PT released the most, followed by DHM and DH. Nitrogen gas bubbling in PT and plunger up-and-down motion in DHM mimic mouth movements and promoted volatile release more than DH. The quantity of volatiles released depended on the nitrogen gas flow rate and isolation period with both the PT and the DHM model. Static headspace measurements indicated that no interaction occurred between the volatiles and the dispersion thickening agent, nor between the volatiles and protein of saliva.

Abstract
Aroma release from a cream style dressing, consisting of a thickening agent dispersed in the water phase of an oil in water (o/w) emulsion, has been studied by a purge-and-trap (PT) and a dynamic headspace mastication (DHM) model using two representative volatile compounds, viz. diacetyl and 2-heptanone. These isolations have been carried out from three systems: the dressing, the thickening agent dispersion and the o/w type of emulsion after adding different volumes of artificial saliva. Dilution of the samples with artificial saliva influences the amounts released for diacetyl and 2-heptanone differently: diacetyl decreases upon dilution of the thickening agent dispersion, emulsion and dressing. However, the amount of released 2-heptanone decreased only in the case of the thickening agent dispersion. These differences are caused by the distribution of diacetyl and 2-heptanone between the water and the oil phases. The distribution is not so important, when the DHM model is used for the release from dressings. The viscosity of the mixture of dressing and artificial saliva then plays an essential role. In general, the viscosity is considered to suppress the release of flavour. However, it has been found that the amount of volatile compounds released from the more viscous dressing was greater than from the emulsion. Most probably, the DHM model creates a large surface area by adhesion of the dressing on the wall of the sampling flask and the plunger head. This result suggests that the DHM equipment, which mimics the mouth movement, might be used to predict the real release of flavour in the mouth more precisely than other mouth models.

Abstract
Arg-containing peptide chloromethyl ketones including D-Phe-Pro-Arg-CH2Cl derivatives have been synthesized and tested as inhibitors for thrombin and several blood coagulation enzymes. The parent compound, D-Phe-Pro-Arg-CH2Cl is still the best thrombin inhibitor in the series with kobs/[I] value of 10(7) M-1s-1. Extension by one amino acid (Phe or Gly), or a peptide moiety (ClCH2-Arg < -Pro < -D-Phe < -CO-CO-, ClCH2-Arg < -Pro < -D-Phe < -CO-(CH2)3-CO-, where < -indicates a reversed amino acid residue, -CO-CHR-NH-) on the N-terminus of D-Phe-Pro-Arg-CH2Cl reduces the inhibition constant by 1-2 orders of magnitude, which indicates the importance of a free amino group at the N-terminus. The tripeptide D-Phe-Pro-Arg-CH2Cl and related tetrapeptide inhibitors inhibit thrombin more potently than factor IXa and plasma kallikrein by 2-5 orders of magnitude. Z-Arg-CH2Cl and Phe-Phe-Arg-CH2Cl which contain a large hydrophobic group at the P2 site inhibit thrombin poorly. All the peptide chloromethyl ketones inhibit plasma kallikrein moderately with kobs/[I] values of 10(2)-10(3) M-1s-1 but inhibit factor IXa poorly (kobs/[I] < 20 M-1s-1). Conjugates of albumin with the bis chloromethyl ketones [(CO-D-Phe-Pro-Arg-CH2Cl)2, (CH2)3-(CO-D-Phe-Pro-Arg-CH2Cl)2] were prepared and are potent thrombin inhibitors. These conjugates are model compounds for developing specific thrombus-bound thrombin inhibitors which may have therapeutic application in the treatment of coagulation disorders.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (HP) produces strong urease [EC 3.5.1.5], which is considered to play a role in the pathogenesis of gastritis and peptic ulcers. Inhibitions against this enzyme have been studied with hydroxamic acid (HXA) derivatives of aliphatic or aromatic carboxylic acids, amino acids and dipeptides. A number of HXAs potently inhibited the urease (I50 values were near the order of 10(-6)M), and H-Ile-Gly-NHOH (I50 = 0.20 x 10(-6)M) was the most potent inhibitor among the derivatives. HP urease was inhibited more potently, in general, than Jack bean (JB) urease by HXAs, and a correlation between the chemical structures of HXA derivatives and their inhibitory effects on HP urease was observed, in comparison with JB urease.

Abstract
The tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA)-releasing action of synthetic dipeptides containing Gly, Ser or Pro was investigated. Among 10 dipeptides, Boc-L-Ser-L-Pro-OH and H-L-Ser-L-Pro-OH induced t-PA release in vitro, but the others were inactive. Since Boc-L-Ser-L-Pro-OH was more effective than H-L-Ser-L-Pro-OH, 7 related dipeptides with N-acylation were synthesized. Five of them enhanced the release of t-PA; N-stearoyl-L-Ser-L-Pro-OH (FK-5) had the greatest effect. Four compounds were further examined for activity to enhance the release of t-PA in rats. FK-5 produced a two-fold increase in fibrinolytic activity, and N-palmitoyl-L-Ser-L-Pro-OH (FK-4) also markedly enhanced the release of t-PA. Since FK-5 caused severe hemolysis, 7 analogues of FK-5 were synthesized. All of them enhanced the release of t-PA from melanoma (Bowes) cells. In rats, FK-5, N-stearoyl-D-Ser-L-Pro-OH (FK-8) and N-stearoyl-D-Ser-L-Pro-OEt (FK-10) enhanced the fibrinolytic activity two-fold. FK-5 and FK-8 also exhibited strong hemolytic activity, but FK-10 did not induce hemolysis. Therefore, FK-10 was examined in rabbits. After the injection of this compound, the fibrinolytic activity in the euglobulin fraction was markedly enhanced without accompanying hemolysis. Thus, FK-10 potently enhances fibrinolytic activity both in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Synthetic inhibitors of interstitial collagenase, tri- and tetrapeptidyl hydroxamic acids, have been developed and tested for their inhibitory activities against human matrix metalloproteinases. A water soluble inhibitor, p-NH2-Bz-Gly-Pro-D-Leu-D-Ala-NHOH (FN-439) inhibited interstitial and granulocyte collagenases, granulocyte gelatinase and skin fibroblast stromelysin with IC50 of 1 x 10(-6) M, 3.0 x 10(-5) M and 1.5 x 10(-4), respectively, but not thermolysin and serine proteinases. FN-439 was found to retain its inhibitory activity against matrix metalloproteinases even after prolonged incubation with pronase or human granulocyte elastase, indicating a favorite candidate of the inhibitor to modulate metalloproteinase activities in vivo.

Abstract
Proteases have been divided into four mechanistic classes: serine proteases, metalloproteases, aspartic proteases, and cysteine proteases. Once a new enzyme is classified by the use of general inhibitors, it is possible to design reactive inhibitors by using mechanistic information learned through study of other members of the same protease family. The most useful types of inhibitors for serine proteases are transition-state inhibitors including alpha-ketoesters and phosphonates, and mechanism-based inhibitors such as heterocyclic isocoumarin inhibitors. Some of these inhibitors are quite specific toward individual target serine proteases. Many proteases are involved in various disease states, and potent inhibitors of these enzymes have the potential to be developed as new therapeutic agents. In the future, it is likely than numberous specific protease inhibitors will be tested clinically for the treatment of human disease.

Abstract
A series of dipeptidyl hydroxamic acids (H-X-Gly-NHOH: X = amino acid residues) was synthesized, and the inhibitory activity against Jack bean and Proteus mirabilis ureases [EC 3.5.1.5] was examined. A number of H-X-Gly-NHOH inhibited Jack bean urease with an I50 of the order of 10(-6) M and inhibited Proteus mirabilis urease with an I50 of the order of 10(-5) M. The inhibition against Jack bean urease was more potent than that with the corresponding aminoacyl hydroxamic acids (H-X-NHOH).

Abstract
To develop a potent and specific collagenase inhibitor, a series of tetrapeptidyl hydroxamic acids were synthesized, based on the previous findings with tripeptidyl derivatives (Chem. Pharm. Bull., 38, 1007-1011, 1990). Among the series of tetrapeptidyl derivatives synthesized, R-Gly-Pro-Leu-Ala-NHOH and R-Gly-Pro-D-Leu-D-Ala-NHOH were found to be highly specific and potent inhibitors against vertebrate collagenase with an IC50 of 10(-6) M order, where R stands for Boc or acyl group. Analysis of their structure-activity relationships showed a characteristic feature of the substrate-binding site of collagenase as follows: 1) the S1 subsite forms a shallow hydrophobic pocket, although glycine residue corresponds to the subsite of the natural collagen substrate: 2) the S2 subsite constitutes a bulky pocket with less requirement for hydrophobicity: 3) the S3 subsite preferentially accommodates Pro residue: and 4) the accommodation of the P4-P1 subsites of peptidyl collagenase inhibitor to the S4-S1 subsites is required to form a tight binding of its hydroxamic acid moiety to the zinc ion at the catalytic site of the enzyme. The introduction of an enantiometric dipeptide unit, D-Leu-D-Ala, to the P2-P1 subsites demonstrated an increased binding capacity to the extended S4-S1 subsites of collagenase, thus providing proteinase-resistant inhibitor.

Abstract
The active site structures of human Q31 granzyme A, murine granzymes (A, B, C, D, E, and F), and human granzymes (A, B, and 3) isolated from cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) were studied with peptide thioester substrates, peptide chloromethyl ketone, and isocoumarin inhibitors. Human Q31, murine, and human granzyme A hydrolyzed Arg- or Lys-containing thioesters very efficiently with kcat/KM of 10(4)-10(5) M-1 s-1. Murine granzyme B was found to have Asp-ase activity and hydrolyzed Boc-Ala-Ala-Asp-SBzl with a kcat/KM value of 2.3 X 10(5) M-1 s-1. The rate was accelerated 1.4-fold when the 0.05 M NaCl in the assay was replaced with CaCl2. The preparation of granzyme B also had significant activity toward Boc-Ala-Ala-AA-SBzl substrates, where AA was Asn, Met, or Ser [kcat/KM = (4-5) X 10(4) M-1 s-1]. Murine granzymes C, D, and E did not hydrolyze any thioester substrate but contained minor contaminating activity toward Arg- or Lys-containing thioesters. Murine granzyme F had small activity toward Suc-Phe-Leu-Phe-SBzl, along with some contaminating trypsin-like activity. Human Q31 granzyme A, murine, and human granzyme A were inhibited quite efficiently by mechanism-based isocoumarin inhibitors substituted with basic groups (guanidino or isothiureidopropoxy). Although the general serine protease inhibitor 3,4-dichloroisocoumarin (DCI) inactivated these tryptases poorly, it was the best isocoumarin inhibitor for murine granzyme B (kobs/[I] = 3700-4200 M-1 s-1). Murine and human granzyme B were also inhibited by Boc-Ala-Ala-Asp-CH2Cl; however, the inhibition was less potent than that with DCI. DCI, 3-(3-amino-propoxy)-4-chloroisocoumarin, 4-chloro-3-(3-isothiureidopropoxy)isocoumarin, and 7-amino-4-chloro-3-(3-isothiureidopropoxy)isocoumarin inhibited Q31 cytotoxic T lymphocyte mediated lysis of human JY lymphoblasts (ED50 = 0.5-5.0 microM).

Abstract
A series of tripeptidyl analogues carrying hydroxamic acid residue at the C-terminus of the molecule were synthesized, and their inhibitory activities against vertebrate collagenase and other metalloenzymes including bacterial collagenase were examined. Both Z-Pro-Leu-Ala-NHOH and Z-Pro-D-Leu-D-Ala-NHOH showed highly specific and potent inhibitory activity against tadpole and human skin collagenases with an IC50 of 10(-6) M order.
