In an effort to prepare novel inhibitors of bacterial aminopeptidase N (PepN), the phosphinate, propenylphosphinate, decylphosphinate, sulfonate, and sulfonamidate analogs of Ala-Ala were synthesized and tested as inhibitors. Phosphinate 1 was shown to inhibit PepN with a K(i) of 10microM, and propenylphosphinate 2 and decylphosphinate 3 inhibited PepN with a K(i) of ca. 1microM. Sulfonate and sulfonamidate analogs did not inhibit PepN.
