Popis: | A series of low molecular weight peptide inhibitors of factor Xa, unrelated to any previously described, was identified by screening a combinatorial peptide library composed of L-amino acids. The minimal inhibitory sequence is a tripeptide, L-tyrosinyl-L-isoleucyl-L-arginyl, which competitively inhibits the hydrolysis of small chromogenic substrates by factor Xa but binds in an orientation which prevents a productive nucleophilic attack by serine 195 of the catalytic triad on the carbonyl carbon of the carboxyterminal arginine. The initial leads identified in an octamer combinatorial peptide library ranged in potency from 4 to 15 microM. These peptides were modified into peptide mimetics with a greater than 1000-fold increase in potency while retaining unusual selectivity for factor Xa over the related serine proteases thrombin, factor VIIa/tissue factor, plasmin, activated protein C, kallikrein, and trypsin. One of the most potent analogues, SEL 2711, with a Ki of 0.003 microM for factor Xa and 40 microM for thrombin, is active in in vitro and ex vivo coagulation assays, suggesting the potential application of these inhibitors in anticoagulant therapy. |
