Alpha-N-acetyl-L-lysine methyl ester (NALME) is a lysine analogue that reportedly binds to low-affinity lysine binding sites in plasmin(ogen) and miniplasmin(ogen). In the studies presented here, we show that NALME has antifibrinolytic activity; however, unlike the therapeutic agents epsilon-amino-n-caproic acid (epsilon-ACA) and tranexamic acid (TEA), the activity of NALME is based on inhibition of the plasmin active site. NALME (0.1-10 mM) significantly inhibited the amidase activity of plasmin, miniplasmin, and streptokinase-plasmin complex without affecting alpha-thrombin or tissue plasminogen activator. epsilon-ACA and TEA (0.1-10 mM) did not affect the amidase activity of plasmin or miniplasmin. A kinetic analysis showed that NALME is a competitive inhibitor of D-Val-L-LeU-L-Lys-p-nitroanilide HCI (S-2251) hydrolysis by plasmin; NALME binding to plasmin completely prevented S-2251 binding. The K1 for the plasmin-NALME interaction was 0.4 mM. Epsilon-ACA and TEA inhibited fibrin monomer digestion by plasmin and miniplasmin without binding to the active site of either enzyme. This result suggests that epsilon-ACA and TEA function as antifibrinolytics by disrupting the noncovalent association of fibrin monomer with a domain common to both plasmin and miniplasmin (probably kringle 5). NALME inhibited fibrin monomer digestion principally by decreasing amidase activity. NALME was the only lysine analogue that prevented fragment X formation; TEA and epsilon-ACA primarily inhibited the formation of fragments Y and D. When plasmin was incubated simultaneously with alpha-2-antiplasmin and alpha-2-macroglobulin, epsilon-ACA increased the fraction of plasmin reacting with alpha-2-macroglobulin; NALME had no effect on the plasmin distribution. epsilon-ACA, TEA, and NALME increased the euglobulin clot lysis time of normal plasma. NALME did not prolong the prothrombin time or activated partial thromboplastin time. These studies demonstrate that the antifibrinolytic activity of NALME is based on inhibition of the plasmin active site, whereas epsilon-ACA and TEA are active due to kringle domain interactions.
