L-trans-Epoxysuccinyl-leucylamido(4-guanidino)butane (E-64) at a concentration of 0.5 mM had no effect on the serine proteinases plasma kallikrein and leukocyte elastase or the metalloproteinases thermolysin and clostridial collagenase; 10 .mu.M-E-64 rapidly inactivated the cysteine proteinases cathepsins B, H and L and papain (t0.5 [half-life] = 0.1-17.3 s). The streptococcal cysteine proteinase reacted much more slowly, and there was no irreversible inactivation of clostripain. The cysteine-dependent exopeptidase dipeptidyl peptidase I was very slowly inactivated by E-64. The active-site-directed nature of the interaction of cathepsin B and papain with E-64 was established by protection of the enzyme in the presence of the reversible competitive inhibitor leupeptin and by the stereospecificity for inhibition by the L as opposed to the D compound. The rapid stoichiometric reaction of the cysteine proteinases related to papain can be used to determine the operational molarity of solutions of the enzymes and calibrate rate assays. The apparent 2nd-order rate constants for the inactivation of human cathepsins B and H and rat cathepsin L by a series of structural analogs of E-64 are reported and compared with those for some other active-site-directed inhibitors of cysteine proteinases. L-trans-Epoxysuccinlyleucylamido(3-methyl)butane inhibited cathepsins B and L more rapidly than E-64. Fumarylleucylamido(3-methyl)butane was 100-fold less reactive than the corresponding epoxide, but was about as effective as iodoacetate.
