Given the prominence of arginine catabolism in the regulation of diverse metabolic pathways such as ureagenesis1 and nitric oxide biosynthesis, 2 the synthesis and evaluation of nonreactive arginine analogues as possible enzyme inhibitors or receptor antagonists is a rapidly-growing focus of medicinal chemistry. 2, 3 To date, only one enzyme of mammalian arginine catabolism, rat liver arginase, has yielded an X-ray crystal structure to guide structure-based inhibitor design efforts. 4 This trimeric metalloenzyme contains a binuclear manganese cluster in the active site of each subunit required for maximal catalytic activity. 5 Arginine hydrolysis is achieved by a metal-activated solvent molecule that symmetrically bridges the Mn2+
