We have determined that m-[o-(2-chloro-5-fluorosulfonylphenylureido)phenoxybutoxy]benza-midine [mCP(PBA)-F] is an affinity labeling reagent which labels both polypeptide chains of thrombin, factor Xa, complement component CIS and plasmin. As this means it is reacting outside of the catalytic center, we have called this reagent an exo-site affinity labeling reagent. Progressive irreversible inhibition of these enzymes by this reagent is rapid (k1st 2.5-4.6 x 10-3sec-1), the kinetics of inactivation are consistent with inhibition proceding via formation of a specific enzyme-inhibitor complex analogous to a Michaelis-Menton complex (KL - 115-26 μM), and diisopropylfluorophosphate or p-amidino-phenylmethanesulfonyfluoride Prevent labeling by [3H]mCP(PBA)-F. A molecular model of mCP(PBA)-F shows that the reactive SO2F group can be 17 A from the cationic amidine. The data are consistent with the hypothesis that both peptide chains are required for the specific proteolytic activity exhibited by these proteases and that the peptide chain which does not contain the active site serine is close to the catalytic center.

This report describes an algebraic formula to calculate the optimal duration of the pre-incubation phase in enzyme-inhibition experiments, based on the assumed range of expected values for the dissociation equilibrium constant of the enzyme–inhibitor complex and for the bimolecular association rate constant. Three typical experimental scenarios are treated, namely, (1) single-point primary screening at relatively high inhibitor concentrations; (2) dose-response secondary screening of relatively weakly bound inhibitors; (3) dose-response screening of tightly-bound inhibitors.

The interaction of human plasmin with the newly discovered alpha2-plasmin inhibitor was investigated. It was found from rate measurements that the reaction involves the rapid formation of a first enzyme-inhibitor complex, followed by the slow irreversible transition to another complex. L-Lysine influences the first step, but not the second.

The diagnosis of prethrombotic states requires methods which detect products of intravasal activation of the coagulation cascade.Two-side immunoassays for antithrombin complexes with clotting factors were developed (IXi-AT, Xi-AT, IIi- AT). These sandwich assays permit the diagnosis of hypercoagulability in the presence or absence of heparin. The biological half live time of the thrombin-antithrombin-complex was found to be about 15 min. Healthy young men 20-25 years old (n=30) have a thrombin-antithrombin-complex concentration of 0.4 ± 0.2 mU/ml thrombin equivalent (S 2238). Patients with acute myocardial infarction (n=40) showed at the time of admission to the hospital up to 10-fold (n=14), up to 100-fold (n=13) more than 100-fold (n=13) elevated thrombin-antithrombin-complex concentrations. Patients with gastrointestinal cancer showed sometime excessive elevated enzyme-inhibitor complexes.No correlation was found between thromboplastine time (Quick) and complex concentration in patients under anticoagulant therapy with dicumarole. In patients under dialysis as well as in patients under open heart surgery with extracorporal circulation, the biocompatibility can be monitored by inhibitor complex measurement.

Abstract Twenty dogs with naturally occurring metastatic tumors were treated with anticoagulants (Warfarin) or platelet enzyme inhibitor drugs (dipyridamole, dipyridamole plus aspirin, RA233, sulfinpyrazone, or a combination of RA233 and sulfinpyrazone) to determine if tumor-related reductions in platelet survival and concentration could be reversed. Anticoagulation was ineffective, while platelet enzyme inhibitors were able to produce improvements in platelet survival. Of the 18 dogs with metastatic tumor treated with platelet enzyme inhibitors, only 5 (28%) showed a reduction in platelet survival during the first week of observation on therapy compared to their baseline survivals. This is significantly different than the decreases in platelet survivals observed in 8 of 10 untreated dogs (80%) with metastatic tumor observed for the same interval. Furthermore, 8 of the 18 treated dogs (44%) had platelet survivals within 2 standard deviations of normal, compared to only 1 of 10 untreated dogs. Of the 8 dogs with normal platelet survivals, 6 were treated with a combination of a phosphodiesterase inhibitor (RA233 or dipyridamole) and a cyclooxygenase inhibitor (sulfinpyrazone or aspirin). The combination of RA233 and sulfinpyrazone was the best drug program tested and resulted in normal platelet survivals in 63% and improved platelet counts in 75% of the animals treated. Thus, platelet enzyme inhibitors with different mechanisms of action may have a synergistic effect in reversing the abnormal platelet hemostasis found in a variety of spontaneously occurring canine neoplasms.
