Richard B. Westkaemper* and Robert H. Abeles* abstract: The interaction of serine protease (esterases) with 6-chloro-2-pyrones was investigated. Time-dependent inac-tivation of chymotrypsin,-lytic protease, pigliver elastase, and cholinesterase was found with 3-and 5-benzyl-6-chloro-2-pyrone, as well as 3-and 5-methyl-6-chloro-2-pyrone. No inactivation was observed with the unsubstituted 6-chloro-2-pyrone. The substituted pyrones did not inactivate papain or carboxypeptidase A, as well as a number of other nonproteolytic enzymes. Thesubstituted chloropyrones, therefore, show considerableselectivity toward serineproteases. Ana-logues in which the 6-chloro substituent is replaced by H or OH do not inactivate. The presence of the halogen is, therefore, essential for inactivation. Chymotrypsin catalyzes the hydrolysis of 3-benzyl-6-chloro-2-pyrone. At pH 7.5,(£)-4-benzyl-2-pentenedioic acid is the major product, and 2-benzyl-2-pentenedioic anhydride is a minor product. The ratio of hydrolysis product found to the number of enzyme molecules inactivated varies from 14 to 40. The enzyme inactivated with the 3-benzyl compound does not show a spec-trum characteristic of the pyrone ring. This suggests that inactivation by 3-benzyl-6-chloro-2-pyrone occurs in a mechanism-based fashion after enzymatic lactone hydrolysis. When the enzyme is inactivated with the 5-benzyl compound, absorbance due to the pyrone ring is observed. We suggest that inactivation occurs through an active site directed mechanism involving a 1, 6-conjugate addition of an active site nucleophile to the pyrone ring. e concept of suicide substrates or mechanism-based irreversible inactivators has led tothe design of inhibitors for a number of enzyme classes (Abeles & Maycock, 1976; Rando, 1975; Seiler et al., 1978; Walsh, 1982). Inactivators of this type contain a latently reactive functional group that is unt From the Graduate Department of Biochemistry, Brandéis Univer-sity, Waltham, Massachusetts 02254.

Most mechanism-based irreversible inactivators described to date are for pyridoxal-dependent enzymes. Serine proteases play a crucial role in many biochemical systems and disease states (Barrett, 1980). Human leucocyte elastase, for example, which causes the destruction of lung elastin, has been implicated in the development of emphysema (Mittman, 1972; Turino et al., 1974; Hance & Crystal, 1975; Boudier et al., 1981). For these reasons, we thought it de-sirable to explore the possibility of developing additional mechanism-based irreversible inactivators of serine proteases. While this work was in progress, Chakravarty et al.(1982) reported the discovery of a new type of mechanism-based
