Potent, small molecule inhibitors of human mast cell tryptase. Anti-asthmatic action of a dipeptide-based transition state analogue containing benzothiazole ketone
Overview
Inhibitors of human mast cell tryptase (EC 3.4.21.59) have therapeutic, potential for treating allergic or inflammatory disorders. We have, investigated transition-state mimetics possessing a heterocycle-activated, ketone group and identified in particular benzothiazole ketone (2S)-6, (RWJ-56423) as a potent, reversible, low-molecular-weight tryptase, inhibitor with a K(i) value of 10 nM. A single-crystal X-ray analysis of, the sulfate salt of (2S)-6 confirmed the stereochemistry. Analogues 12 and, 15-17 are also potent tryptase inhibitors. Although RWJ-56423 potently, inhibits trypsin (K(i) = 8.1 nM), it is selective vs other serine, proteases, such as kallikrein, plasmin, and thrombin. We obtained an X-ray, structure of (2S)-6 complexed with bovine trypsin (1.9-A resolution), which depicts inter alia a hemiketal involving Ser-189, and hydrogen bonds, with His-57 and Gln-192. Aerosol administration of 6 (2R,2S; RWJ-58643) to, allergic sheep effectively antagonized antigen-induced asthmatic, responses, with 70-75% blockade of the early response and complete, ablation of the late response and airway hyperresponsiveness.
