Racemic derivatives of 3-amino-2-tetralone were synthesised and evaluated for their ability to inhibit metallo-aminopeptidase activities. New compounds substituted in position 2 by methyl ketone, substituted oximes or hydroxamic acids as well as heterocyclic derivatives were evaluated against representative members of zinc-dependent aminopeptidases: leucine aminopeptidase (E.C. 3.4.11.1), aminopeptidase-N (E.C. 3.4.11.2), Aeromonas proteolytica aminopeptidase (E.C. 3.4.11.10), and the aminopeptidase activity of leukotriene A4 hydrolase (E.C. 3.3.2.6). Several compounds showed Ki values in the low micromolar range against the 'one-zinc' aminopeptidases, while most of them were rather poor inhibitors of the 'two-zinc' enzymes. This interesting selectivity profile may guide the design of new, specific inhibitors of target mammalian aminopeptidases with one active site zinc.
