Inhibition of angiotensin converting enzyme by L-alanyl-4 or 5-substituted-L-prolines and their N alpha-phosphoryl-derivatives.
A series of L-alanyl-4 or 5-substituted L-prolines, such as L-alanyl-L-thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid, L-alanyl-5-oxo-L-proline, L-alanyl-trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline and L-alanyl-cis-4-hydroxy-L-proline as well as their corresponding N alpha-phosphoryl derivatives, were synthesized and studied for inhibition against angiotensin converting enzyme. Furanacryloyl-phenylalanyl-glycyl-glycine was used as substrate in 50 mM Tris hydrochloride buffer at pH 7.5 containing 1 microM zinc acetate. N alpha-Phosphoryl-L-alanyl-L-thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid and N alpha-phosphoryl-L-alanyl-trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline competitively inhibit angiotensin converting enzyme with Ki values of 68 microM and 89.3 microM, respectively. Smaller inhibition against angiotensin converting enzyme was obtained with the rest of compounds studied here.
