Popis: The angiotensin I-converting enzyme (peptidyl-dipeptide hydrolase, EC 3.4.15.1) inhibitor, ramiprilat ( 2-[N-[(S)-1- ethoxycarbonyl -3- phenylpropyl]- l -Ala ]-(1S,3S5S)-2- azabicyclo [3.3.0] octane -3- carboxylic acid), is shown to exist in two conformational isomers, cis and trans , which interconvert around the amide bond. The two conformers were separated by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The conformers were identified by nuclear Overhauser effect measurements. From line shape analysis the isomerization rate constants were determined to be k cis → trans = 15 s −1 and k trans → cis = 5 s −1 at 368 K in [ 2 H]phosphate buffer (p 2 H 7.5). By enzyme kinetic studies, using 3-(2-furylacryloyl)- l -Phe-Gly-Gly as substrate, the trans conformer was found to be the most potent enzyme inhibitor, whereas the cis conformer had a very low inhibitory effect. A new inhibition mechanism is presented for this type of slow, tight-binding inhibitors that contain an amide bond. This mechanism involves an equilibrium between the two conformers and the enzyme-bound inhibitor complex.
