title: Novel potential mechanism-based inhibitors of human leukocyte elastase and cathepsin G: derivatives of isothiazolidin-3-one.
abstract: A series of heterocyclic compounds designed to function as mechanism-based inhibitors of human leukocyte elastase and cathepsin G has been synthesized and their inhibitory activity was investigated. These isothiazolidin-3-one derivatives were found to be effective inhibitors of cathepsin G.
