Synthesis of water-soluble chymotrypsin specific inhibitors was attempted to study the roles of chymotrypsin-like enzymes in vivo. Previously we reported that the esters of carboxylic acid containing a condensed ring showed stronger activity than those containing a single ring system. Then we synthesized 4-substituted phenyl esters of carboxylic acid containing a condensed ring, such as tetralin, naphthalene, indole etc., and their inhibitory activities were compared. Among these compounds, esters of tetralin-1-carboxylic acid (FK-448) and 1-naphthylacetic acid showed the strongest activity, and their IC50 values were 8×10-7, 5×10-7 M, respectively. Tetralin-2-carboxylate and 2-naphthylacetate inhibited weaker than 1-analogues. Esters of basic quinoline carboxylic acid and bulky carboxylic acids containing a three-ring system inhibited poorly. Chymotrypsin produced equimolecular 4-substituted phenol rapidly and thereafter the amount of 4-substituded phenol increased slowly, when incubated with FK-448 at 37°C.
