✦ Synopsis


Distinct differences in the SAR for HLE and PPE inhibition in this class of compounds were observed. For example, larger lipophilic substituents at the benzisothiazolone 4-position afforded inhibitors that were potent against HLE, but inactive against PPE. These findings are consistent with computer models of inhibitor-enzyme complexes built using the X-ray structure coordinates of HLE and PPE. These models show that substituents at the benzisothiazolone 4-position fit into the S 1 specificity pocket of the enzyme and that other differences in the SAR can be explained based on the structural differences of riLE and PPE.
