Trypsin, thrombin, fibrinolysin, papain, chymothrypsin and urokinase were immobilized on aminopolystyrene resin by the reaction of diazocoupling. An activation of prothrombin and plasminogen and also hydrolysis of fibrin by immobilized enzymes were studied. The immobilized enzymes hydrolyzed N-benzoyl-1-arginine ethyl ester and L-tyrosine ethyl ester. The only preparation of immobilized thrombin possessed the coagulational activity. After the covalent binding trypsin and plasmin maintained the capacity to cause a fibrinolysis. Immobilized trypsin, plasmin, papain, chymotrypsin and urokinase exhibited the fibrinolytic effect due to convertion of plasminogen into plasmin.

Incubation of primary human fibroblasts in serum-free medium with small concentrations of thrombin, trypsin or plasmin resulted in manyfold increase in total DNA synthesis and in the number of 3H-thymidine labelled cells. Rise in the frequency of mitoses indicates that the proteases stimulated also cell division. Because proteases induced only a fraction of cells to proliferate increase in the total number of cells remained moderate. Calf, horse and rabbit serum inhibited the growth stimulating effect of trypsin but chicken, dog and monkey serum were permissive. Specific inhibitors of proteases prevented the stimulation of cell proliferation suggesting strongly that proteases act in virtue of their enzymatic activity.

p-Nitrobenzyl p-toluenesulfonyl-L-arginine has been synthesized. A number of trypsin-like enzymes can catalyze the hydrolysis of this ester leading to formation of p-nitrobenzyl alcohol. After separation from the ester and p-toluenesulfonylarginine by extraction into chloroform, the p-nitrobenzyl alcohol liberated can be measured spectrophotometrically at 271 nm. Under the conditions of the assay, the hydrolysis of 1 micronmol/ml of the ester is equivalent to an absorbance change of 4.45 cm-1 at 271 nm. With 0.10 mM p-nitrobenzyl p-toluenesulfonyl-L-arginine in 0.1 M Tris-HCl at pH 8.4 and 30 degrees, the enzymatic hydrolysis is linearly proportional to time up to consumption of 60% of the ester. Product formation is proportional to enzyme concentration with 0.05 to 0.2 NIH clotting units/ml for bovine or human thrombin, 0.005 to 0.02 CTA units/ml for human plasmin, and 0.01 to 0.04 microgram/ml protein for bovine pancreatic trypsin. In 0.1 M Tris-HCl at pH 8.4 and 30 degrees, Km is 14 micrometer and Vmax is 0.037 micronmol/min/NIH unit/ml for bovine thrombin, Km is 78 micrometer and Vmax is 0.31 micronmol/min/CTA unit/ml for human plasmin, and Km is 12 micrometer and Vmax is 138 micronmol/min/mg protein/ml for bovine trypsin. With bovine thrombin, activities at pH 7.3 and at pH 9.2 were 30% lower and 40-50% higher than the rate at pH 8.4. Samples of bovine and human thrombin ranging in specific clotting activity from 59 to 2133 NIH units/mg protein showed esterase activities varying from 0.15 to 0.4 micronmol p-nitrobenzyl alcohol formed/10 min/NIH unit.

To establish quantitative structure-activity relationships for the inhibition of trypsin, plasmin and thrombin by 4-amidinophenyl compounds with a keto group, attempts have been made to detect correlations between data on inhibition and substituent constants. The inhibitor activity of the derivatives is described by lipophilic or steric substituent constants using linear free energy relationships. To describe the action of beta-ketones, an additional sigma I term is necessary. The lipophilic or steric term stands for binding of the inhibitor side chain to a second hydrophobic binding site of the enzyme. The electronic term describing inductive influences on the keto group suggests the contribution of the beta-keto group to the enzyme inhibitor binding via a tetrahedral conformation of the carbonyl carbon.

p-Carbethoxyphenyl episol-guanidinocaproate and p-(p'-guanidinobenzoyloxy)-phenyl derivatives were prepared, and their inhibitory effects on trypsin, plasmin, plasma kallikrein, thrombin, C1r- and C1 esterase were examined. Among the various inhibitors tested, p-nitrophenyl p'-guanidinobenzoate, N,N-dimethylamino p-(p'-guanidinobenzoyloxy)-benzoyl glycolate and N,N-dimethylamino p-(p'-guanidinobenzoyloxy)-benzilcarbonyloxy glycolate were the most effective inhibitors of trypsin, plasmin, plasma kallikrien and thrombin, and they strongly inhibited the esterolytic activities of C1r- and C1 esterase.

The inhibition of plasmin, (EC 3.4.21.7), thrombin (EC 3.4.21.5), trypsin (EC 3.4.21.4) and chymotrypsin (EC 3.4.21.1) by antiplasmin, the recently described fast-reacting plasmin inhibitor of human plasma, was studied. To determine the quantitative importance of antiplasmin relative to the other plasma protease inhibitors, enzyme inhibition assays were performed on whole plasma and on plasma specifically depleted in antiplasmin, after addition of excess enzyme. Plasmin was the only enzyme for which the inhibitory capacity of antiplasmin-depleted plasma was lower than that of normal plasma. To determine the affinity of the enzymes for antiplasmin, as compared to the other inhibitors, various amounts of enzymes were added to normal plasma and the formation of enzyme-antiplasmin complexes studied by crossed immunoelectrophoresis using specific antisera against antiplasmin. Plasmin and trypsin, but not thrombin or chymotrypsin formed complexes with antiplasmin. It is concluded that antiplasmin is the only fast-reacting plasmin inhibitor of human plasma. It is also a fast-reacting inhibitor of trypsin but only accounts for a very small part of the fast-reacting trypsin-inhibitory activity of plasma. This can be explained by the low concentration of antiplasmin (1 muM) in normal plasma, compared to the other inhibitors (e.g. alpha1-antitrypsin: 40-80 muM).

Rates of hydrolysis of the newly developed peptide chromogenic substrates S-2160 (N-Bz-Phe-Val-Arg-pNA, HCl), S-2238 (H-D-Phe-Pip-Arg-pNA, 2HCl), S-2222 (N-Bz-Ile-Glu-Gly-Arg-pNA, HCl), and S-2251 (H-D-Val-Leu-Lys-pNA, 2HCl) from AB Kabi Peptide Research and Chromozym TH (Z-Gly-Pro-Arg-pNA, HCl) from Pentapharm Limited were tested against highly purified preparations of human plasmin, bovine trypsin, human alpha thrombin, and bovine factor Xa. S-2160, S-2238, and Chromozym TH are sensitive to thrombin, Chromozym TH and S-2238 exhibiting a substantially greater sensitivity than S-2160. All 3 substrates are insensitive to factor Xa but hydrolyzed to varying degrees by plasmin and trypsin. In contrast, S-2222 is sensitive to Xa and insensitive to thrombin. S-2251 is relatively plasmin-specific, being resistant to the clotting enzymes thrombin and Xa. S-2251 exhibits even greater sensitivity to the SK-plasmin complex than to plasmin. In addition, the substrate Chromozym PK (N-Bz-Pro-Phe-Arg-pNA, HCl) was evaluated and found to be relatively specific for plasma kallikrein. Assays for antithrombin III and heparin using S-2222 as the substrate and factor Xa as the enzyme, plasma plasminogen and plasmin inhibitors using S-2251 as the substrate, and plasma prekallikrein and kallikrein inhibitors using Chromozym PK as the substrate have been developed. Synthetic peptides mimicking amino acid sequences adjacent to proteolytic activation cleavage of plasma serine protease precursors appear to be sensitive and relatively specific tools applicable to kinetical and clinical studies of these enzymes and their inhibitors.

A series of substituted benzamidines has been examined for their inhibitory activity against the human serine proteases--trypsin, thrombin, plasmin, and C1s, a subunit of the first component of complement. The inhibition constants obtained for each enzyme were correlated with physical-chemical properties of the substituent group using the quantitative structure-activity relationship approach. This analysis indicated that plasmin and C1s are very similar in their interactions with substituted benzamidines. The binding of benzamidines in both enzymes was affected by electron donation from the substituent and its hydrophobicity. Thrombin-benzamidine interaction was affected only by the hydrophobicity of the substituent. Trypsin displayed a complex interaction with substituted benzamidines, and interaction was dependent on molar refractivity and molecular weight. Certain substituents deviated significantly from the interactions predicted by the analysis. These compounds, the (m- and p-amidinophenyl)pyruvic acids, when analyzed by computer modeling, suggested that direct interaction between the substituent and the enzyme surface is important in assessing the effect of substituent groups on inhibitory activity.

Amidinobenzylidene derivatives of benzo-condensed cycloalkanones proved to be potent competitive inhibitors of thrombin and trypsin. On the contrary, the antiplasmin effect of these derivatives is considerably less marked. The conversion of 3-amidinochalcone to derivatives in which the carbonyl group is incorporated into a ring, does not lead to fundamental changes in the inhibitory effect on trypsin and thrombin, whereas the antiplasmin effect decreases. Compared to 4-amidinochalcone, the 2-(4-amidinobenzylidene) derivatives of indanone-(1) and tetralone-(1) exert a stronger inhibitory effect on trypsin and thrombin. The introduction of a hetero-atom to the cycloalkanone component affected the inhibitory effect on trypsin and thrombin but insignificantly. From these results it is concluded that also in amidinobenzylidene derivatives of benzo-condensed cycloalkanone derivatives, the carbonyl function shares in enzyme-inhibitor binding.
