Abstract
N-(Hydroxyaminocarbonyl)phenylalanine (1) was designed rationally as a new type of inhibitor for carboxypeptidase A (CPA). The designed inhibitor was readily prepared from phenylalnine benzyl ester in two steps and evaluated to find that rac-1 inhibits CPA in a competitive fashion with the Ki value of 2.09 μM. Surprisingly, inhibitor 1 having the D-configuration is more potent (Ki=1.54 μM) than its antipode by about 3-fold. A possible explanation for the stereochemistry observed in the inhibition of CPA with 1 is presented.
