-
Paragraph 0389-0391, (2020/07/14)
The present invention relates to compounds of formula I bearing a sulfoxonium ylide moiety as warhead, or salts thereof. Such compounds can be used as activity-based probes for cysteine proteases such as cathepsin X, in methods of detecting cysteine protease activity and in related diagnostic or therapeutic methods.

The hydrolysis (deacylation) of enantiomeric substrates by the chemically modified enzymes decanoyl-α-chymotrypsin and decanoyl-trypsin was studied. Reaction activity for decanoyl-α-chymotrypsin was lower than that for the native enzyme, although intriguingly the enantioselectivity was markedly enhanced as compared with the native enzyme. In particular, the apparently complete enantioselective catalysis was attained for the hydrolytic cleavage of p-nitrophenyl N-dodecanoyl- D(L)-phenylalaninates. The enhancement of enantioselectivity, however, was not observed for decanoyl-trypsin. These results suggest that the chemically modified α-chymotrypsin by addition of hydrophobic groups has promoted enantioselectivity for the hydrolysis of hydrophobic esters.
