Analogues of the carboxyl protease inhibitor, pepstatin, were synthesized from optically pure forms of N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-4-amino-3-hydroxy-6-methylheptanoic acid (Boc-Sta), and the inhibition of pepsin and renin was determined. In addition, the new amino acid (3S,4S)-4-amino-3-hydroxy-5-phenylpentanoic acid [AHPPA] was synthesized and the stereochemistry of the 3 and 4 positions established. The tripeptides isovaleryl-L-valyl-(3S,4S)-4-amino-3-hydroxy-6-methylheptanoyl-L-alanine isoamylamide [Iva-Val-(3S,4S)-Sta-Ala-NHiC5H11] and Iva-Val-(3S,4S)-AHPPA-Ala-NHiC5H11 were found to be potent inhibitors of pepsin with Ki = 1 x 10(-9) and 0.9 x 10(-9) M, respectively. Changing the chirality of the (3S)-hydroxy group to 3R or shortening the peptide chain diminished binding to pepsin over 100-fold. Three structural requirements necessary for potent inhibition of pepsin are proposed.
