title: Highly selective synthetic inhibitors with regard to plasma-kallikrein activities.
abstract: The synthetic inhibitors of plasma kallikrein (PK) were found, which are called PKSI-1007, PKSI-0180 and PKSI-0527 in our laboratories. (1) The inhibitors inhibited PK competitively with D-Pro-Phe-Arg-pNA and the Ki values obtained were considerably small, 10(-6) M-10(-7) M. However, the Ki values for glandular kallikrein (GK), plasmin (PL), thrombin (TH) and factor Xa (FXa) were larger. In particular, a selectivity of PKSI-0527 towards PK was very high and the toxicity was weak (i.v. LD50 for mice is over 100 mg/kg). (2) The inhibitors were effective (a) to prevent the bradykinin formation in the kaolin-activated human plasma and the acid-treated ascites taken from the mice bearing Sarcoma 180, (b) to prolong the coagulation time by contact activation, and (c) to inhibit the enhancement of ADP-platelet aggregation by PK. The results indicated that the some PKSI-inhibitors will be much useful for the basic studies, furthermore they deem to be even promising towards the clinical application.
