Tripeptides of the general X-SO2-d-Ser-AA-Arg-CO-Y formula, where X = α-tolyl, p-tolyl, 2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl; AA = alanine, glycine, norvaline and Y = OH, NH-(CH2)5NH2 were obtained and tested for their effect on the amidolytic activities of urokinase, thrombin, trypsin, plasmin, t-PA and kallikrein. The most active compound towards urokinase was PhCH2SO2-d-Ser-Gly-Arg-OH with Ki value 5.4 μM and the most active compound toward thrombin was PhCH2SO2-d-Ser-NVa-Arg-OH with Ki value 0.82 μM. The peptides were nontoxic against porcine erythrocytes in vitro. PhCH2SO2-d-Ser-Gly-Arg-OH showed cytotoxic effect against DLD cell lines with IC50 values of 5 μM. For the highly selective determination of the interaction of some of the synthesised acids of tripeptides with urokinase and plasmin the Surface Plasmon Resonance Imaging sensor has been applied. These compounds bind to urokinase and plasmin in 0.05 mM concentration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
