Popis: Neutrophil-derived mediators such as, for example, the serine proteinase elastase, cathepsin G and proteinase 3, play a critical role in inflammatory lung disease. This report describes the design, synthesis and in vitro inhibitory activity of some novel mechanism-based inhibitors of human leukocyte elastase and cathepsin G. The design of the inhibitors is based on the Gabriel-Colman rearrangement. The behavior of the synthesized compounds toward elastase and cathepsin G with respect to inhibitory prowess, mode of interaction, specificity, etc., has been found to be dependent on the recognition and reactivity elements present in each inhibitor.
