Abstract

A group of leupeptin analogues was found in Streptomyces griseus strain 254, isolated from a soil sample from Fujian Province, China. The inhibitors excreted in the culture filtrate were purified by adsorption on macroporous resin, followed by sequential ion exchange chromatography on DEAE-52 cellulose, CM-32 cellulose and affinity chromatography with immobilized trypsin. The preparation thus obtained was further purified by preparative HPLC. Several major components were found and characterized, which possessed different inhibitory properties toward trypsin. Based upon amino acid and mass spectrophotometric analysis, these peptides were placed in four major structural categories, viz., R-Val-Val-argininal, R-Leu-Leu-argininal, R-Ile-Ile-argininal and R-Thr-Thr-argininal, this latter component representing a newly identified leupeptin analogue. The structural variability of the R-group was partly responsible for the multiplicity of the peaks obtained with HPLC. All peptides displayed varying degrees of inhibitory activity toward proteases involved in blood coagulation and fibrinolysis, including plasmin, factor Xa, activated protein C and thrombin. Among these peptide inhibitors, the molecule containing threonine showed the str...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
