Abstract:
:Membrane-bound aminopeptidase P (AP-P) participates in the degradation of bradykinin in several vascular beds. We have developed an inhibitor of AP-P called apstatin (1) (N-[(2S, 3R)-3-amino-2-hydroxy-4-phenyl-butanoyl]-L-prolyl-L-prolyl-L-al aninam ide); IC50,human = 2.9 microM. In the rat, apstatin can potentiate the vasodilatory effect of bradykinin, reduce blood pressure in an aortic-coarctation model of hypertension, and reduce cardiac damage and arrhythmias induced by ischemia/reperfusion. In this study, we have determined structure-activity relationships for apstatin analogues as well as for other chemical classes of inhibitors using AP-P isozymes from different sources. The most potent inhibitor was one in which the N-terminal residue of apstatin was replaced with a (2S,3R)-3-amino-2-hydroxy-5-methyl-hexanoyl residue (6, IC50,human = 0.23 microM). The (2R,3S)-analogue of 6 was equipotent with 6 while the (2S,3S)- and (2R,3R)-analogues were considerably less potent. Apstatin analogues lacking the L-alanine or having hydroxyproline in place of the proline in the second position had reduced affinity. Certain thiol-, carboxylalkyl-, and hydroxamate-containing compounds were inhibitory in the low micromolar range. Human cytosolic AP-P isozymes and Escherichia coli AP-P exhibited different inhibitor profiles than mammalian membrane-bound AP-P isozymes. The effects of the compounds on X-Pro dipeptidase (prolidase) and leucyl aminopeptidase are also presented.
