Tosyllysine Chloromethyl Ketone (hydrochloride) is a protease inhibitor [1][2][3].
L-1-chloro-3-[4-tosylamido]-7-amino-2-heptanone-HCl (TLCK) is a protease inhibitor. TLCK is an active site-directed agent that inhibits serine proteinases with trypsin-like activity. TLCK also interacts non-selectively with thiol groups and thereby inhibits cysteine proteinases and other enzymes. In LPS-activated rat alveolar macrophages, TLCK at 1-100 μM inhibited NOx- accumulation and inducible iNOS expression in a concentration-dependent way [1]. To prevent proteolytic degradation, TLCK may be used in protein purification protocols [2]. TLCK significantly increased the cytotoxic activity of C. histolyticum supernatant towards human epithelial HeLa cells probably by hindering natural defence mechanisms of cells. 30 min incubation with bacterial supernatant increased toxicity in both concentrations (200 and 1000 μM) from 18 ± 3% to 39 ± 3% and 57 ± 8%, respectively. TLCK also blocked clostripain enzymatic activity obtained from C. histolyticum. So TLCK might be used to treat diseases complicated by concurrent C. histolyticum infection [3].
