title: Synthesis and anti-elastase properties of 6-amino-2-phenyl-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-one aminoacyl and dipeptidyl derivatives.
abstract: A series of 6-amino-2-phenyl-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-one aminoacyl and dipeptidyl derivatives, in which aminoacids and dipeptides are linked to the benzoxazinone moiety via an amide bond, were synthesized and tested in vitro for their inhibitory activity towards human leukocyte elastase (HLE). When compared to their values without inhibitors, the residual enzymatic activities decrease with time, indicating a time-dependent inhibition. The most potent inhibitions were obtained when Z-Arg-(Pmc), Z-Val-Phe, Z-Ala-Val or Z-Val-Ala are linked to the 6-amino group. Twenty-five new compounds were synthesized.
