Since the inhibitors used in this study are unable to form such
hydrogen bonds with CFP-T7, the corresponding inhibitor moiety
seems to exhibit more degrees of freedom relative to the amino
acid/dipeptide moiety of the natural compounds. The latitude of
the inhibitors should be a drawback for the binding affinity toward
the enzyme, and sterically less demanding substituents should be
preferable. This effect probably affects the inhibitory activity of
1a-c toward CFP-T7 strongly, and the inhibitory activity of Fru-
Val analog 1a, which contains the smallest substituent at the C-1
position of the fructose ring, was higher than that of Fru-ValHis
analog 1b. Regardless, natural Fru-ValHis proved to be the best
substrate for CFP-T7.

In conclusion, we successfully designed and synthesized sub-
strate-analog inhibitors for CFP-T7 and quantitatively analyzed
their inhibition properties. Co-crystallization of the enzyme with
inhibitors 1a–c in order to determine the three-dimensional struc-
ture of CFP-T7 by X-ray crystallography is currently undertaken in
our laboratories and results will be disseminated in due course.
