Abstract

An elastase inhibitor, SMFEI02, was isolated from culture broth of Streptomyces lavendulae SMF11. The inhibitor was purified by ultrafiltration followed by XAD-7 column and Dowex-1 anion-exchange chromatographies, and preparative HPLC. The molecular formula was determined to be $C_{14}H_{16}N_2O_2$ (MW244) by HRFAB-MS analysis. The inhibitor was identified to be a diketopiperazine cyclo(S-Phe-S-Pro) by the optical rotation value and MNR spectral data, and showed inhibitory activities for trypsin, chymotrypsin, cathepsin B, and papain as well as elastase with the Ki values ranging from 1.78mM to $2.86{\;}\mu\textrm{m}$. The inhibition showed a competitive mode for elastase, chymotrypsin, and cathepsin B, whereas it showed a noncompetitive mode for trypsin and papain.
