title: 6-Acylamino-2-1[(ethylsulfonyl)oxy]-1H-isoindole-1,3-diones mechanism-based inhibitors of human leukocyte elastase and cathepsin G: effect of chirality in the 6-acylamino substituent on inhibitory potency and selectivity.
abstract: Inhibition of human leukocyte elastase(HLE) by a series of 6-acylamino-2-[(ethylsulfonyl)oxy)]-1H-isoindole-1,3-diones was determined and compared to their inhibition of ChT, PPE, and Cat G. The best inhibitor of the series was 6-((1'S)-camphanyl)amino-2-[(ethylsulfonyl) oxy]-1H-isoindole-1,3-dione 5b, with a k(obs)/[I] = 11,000 M(-1) s(-1). This study revealed that HLE shows a preference for the S stereochemistry and tolerates hydrophobic substituents in the Sn' binding sites. Molecular modeling of non-covalent HLE-inhibitor complexes was used as a tool to investigate our binding model. Buffer stability assays reveal that these compounds are susceptible to hydrolysis at physiological pH.
