A series of new acyl, urea, and carbonate derivatives of 7-amino-4-chloro-3-methoxyisocoumarin were synthesized and evaluated as irreversible inhibitors of human neutrophil elastase (HNE) and porcine pancreatic elastase (PPE). Inhibition of HNE is directly related to the hydrophobicity of the substituent on the 7-amino group. The N-Tos-Phe derivative (19) is the best HNE inhibitor with a second-order rate constant kobs/[I] = 200,000 M-1 s-1. The closest analogue in this series, the 3,3-diphenylpropionyl derivative 5, had a kobs/[I] = 130,000 M-1 s-1 with HNE. In contrast to the Tos-Phe derivative 19, phenylacetyl derivative 2 and carbonates 22 and 25 gave extremely stable enzyme-inhibitor complexes with deacylation half-lives longer than 48 h with both elastases. N-Phenylurea derivative 25 was the best inhibitor for PPE with a second-order rate constant kobs/[I] = 7300 M-1 s-1. The crystal structure of a complex of PPE with N-tosyl-Phe derivative 19 was determined at 1.85-A resolution and refined to a final R factor of 16.9%. The isocoumarin forms an acyl enzyme with Ser-195, while His-57 is near the inhibitor, but not covalently linked. The Tos-Phe makes a few hydrophobic contacts with the S' subsites of PPE, but appears to be interacting primarily with itself in the PPE structure. This region of HNE is more hydrophobic and modeling indicates that the inhibitor would probably make additional contacts with the enzyme.
