Internally quenched cathepsin L (Cat L) substrate ABZ-Bip-Arg-Ala-Gln-Tyr(3-NO2)-NH2 with high specificity constant (k(cat)/K-M = 2.6 x 10(7) M-1 s(-1)) was synthesized. The resultant compound displayed high selectivity over other members of the cathepsin family (B, S, X, V, C, K, H, F, D, and A). Activity of Cat L at picomolar (pM) concentrations was found using this substrate. Moreover, it was established that the presence of the selective Cat L inhibitor suppressed the proteolysis of the substrate to a non-detectable level. Incubation of the synthesized compound with a cell lysate of healthy and cancer cell lines indicated significant differences in Cat L activity. Based on the obtained results, it is proposed that this substrate could be used for selective monitoring of Cat L activity in biological systems. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
