| Targets |
Plasmin (serine protease). D-Val-Phe-Lys-CMK binds irreversibly to the catalytic site of plasmin by alkylating the active site histidine residue. This covalent modification permanently inactivates the enzyme. The sequence corresponds to the P1-P3 residues of the natural substrate of plasmin, ensuring selectivity.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
D-Val-Phe-Lys-CMK inhibits plasmin activity. At concentrations of 1-100 uM, it blocks plasmin‑mediated cleavage of chromogenic substrates (e.g., H-D-Val-Leu-Lys-pNA) and fibrin degradation. It is also used to inhibit plasminogen‑staphylokinase complexes. No IC50 value is reported in the search results.
|
| ln Vivo |
The compound is not used in vivo due to potential toxicity of chloromethyl ketones. It is a research tool for ex vivo inhibition of plasmin in cell culture or plasma. It may be used in animal studies to locally inhibit plasmin activity, e.g., by injection into thrombus or wound site. Its in vivo half‑life is likely very short due to rapid hydrolysis and nonspecific alkylation.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
A standard plasmin inhibition assay: 10 microL of plasmin (0.1-1 U/mL) is mixed with increasing concentrations of D‑Val‑Phe‑Lys‑CMK (0.1 nM-100 microM) in 100 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5) with 100 mM NaCl and 0.05% Tween 80. After preincubation at 25degC for 15 minutes, 50 microL of chromogenic substrate (e.g., S‑2251, 0.5 mM) is added. Absorbance at 405 nm is monitored for 30 minutes. IC50 is determined by plotting activity vs. inhibitor concentration. The irreversible nature is confirmed by dilution or dialysis experiments.
|
| Cell Assay |
Primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) are used to study the role of plasmin in fibrinolysis. Cells are treated with D‑Val‑Phe‑Lys‑CMK (0.1-100 microM) for 30-60 minutes prior to adding plasminogen and tissue plasminogen activator (tPA). The degradation of fibrin clots or matrix proteins is assessed by ELISA or gel zymography. Cell viability is assessed by LDH release. No cytotoxicity is reported at < 50 microM.
|
| Animal Protocol |
D‑Val‑Phe‑Lys‑CMK is not recommended for systemic administration. For local application in an animal model, the compound (10-50 microM in PBS) can be injected directly into a pulmonary embolism or arterial thrombus in rats. After 30 minutes, thrombus resolution is assessed by histology. Alternatively, the compound is used ex vivo to treat blood samples prior to measuring fibrinolytic parameters. No dosing protocols are available due to toxicity concerns.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
D‑Val‑Phe‑Lys‑CMK is a reactive chloromethyl ketone that is rapidly hydrolyzed in aqueous solutions (half‑life minutes to hours). It is not orally bioavailable. Plasma protein binding is high. Systemic administration leads to rapid clearance and potential nonspecific alkylation of plasma proteins. No detailed PK parameters have been published.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Chloromethyl ketones are alkylating agents and can be toxic, causing cellular damage by nonspecific cysteine alkylation. D‑Val‑Phe‑Lys‑CMK should be handled as a potential irritant and mutagen. No LD50 data is available. For research use only; not for human or veterinary use. Appropriate safety precautions (gloves, fume hood) should be used.
