title: Effect of NCO-700, an inhibitor of thiol protease, on reactive oxygen production by chemotactic peptide-stimulated rabbit peripheral granulocytes.
abstract: The specific thiol protease inhibitor, NCO-700, which is related to L-trans-epoxysuccinylpeptides, inhibited oxidant production by chemoattractant-stimulated rabbit polymorphonuclear leukocytes. NCO-700 could also scavenge active oxygen generated from sodium hypochlorite-hydrogen peroxide and hypoxanthine-xanthine oxidase systems.
