Fluorogenic N-nitrosoamides: active-site labeling reagents for chymotrypsin-like proteases.
Two fluorogenic N-nitrosoamides, N-nitroso-N-((7-methoxycoumarin-4-yl)methyl)-N'-isobutyrylalaninamide (6a) and N-nitroso-N-((6-methoxyquinolin-2-yl)methyl)-N'-isobutyrylalani namide (6b), were synthesized. Both N-nitrosoamides inhibited alpha-chymotrypsin irreversibly; they show promise as labeling reagents for the active sites of chymotrypsin-like proteases.
