Institute of Chemistry, University of Białystok, Poland.

Effect of three epsilon-aminocaproylaminoacids with significant antifibrinolytic activity on chymotrypsin, trypsin, cathepsin B, cathepsin C and cathepsin D activities was examined. Slight inhibition of trypsin and chymotrypsin activity was observed only at high concentrations of these compounds. All tested dipeptides did not influence activities of cathepsin B, cathepsin C and cathepsin D.

D002401	Cathepsin B	A lysosomal cysteine proteinase with a specificity similar to that of PAPAIN. The enzyme is present in a variety of tissues and is important in many physiological and pathological processes. In pathology, cathepsin B has been found to be involved in DEMYELINATION; EMPHYSEMA; RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS, and NEOPLASM INVASIVENESS.

D002402	Cathepsin D	An intracellular proteinase found in a variety of tissue. It has specificity similar to but narrower than that of pepsin A. The enzyme is involved in catabolism of cartilage and connective tissue. EC 3.4.23.5. (Formerly EC 3.4.4.23).
D000933	Antifibrinolytic Agents	Agents that prevent fibrinolysis or lysis of a blood clot or thrombus. Several endogenous antiplasmins are known. The drugs are used to control massive hemorrhage and in other coagulation disorders.

D014361	Trypsin Inhibitors	Serine proteinase inhibitors which inhibit trypsin. They may be endogenous or exogenous compounds.	Trypsin Inhibitor,Inhibitor, Trypsin,Inhibitors, Trypsin
D015119	Aminocaproic Acid	An antifibrinolytic agent that acts by inhibiting plasminogen activators which have fibrinolytic properties.	6-Aminocaproic Acid,6-Aminohexanoic Acid,epsilon-Aminocaproic Acid,Amicar,CY-116,Capralense,Capramol,Caproamin,Caprocid,Caprolest,Epsamon,Epsikapron,Hemocaprol,Hexalense,6 Aminocaproic Acid,6 Aminohexanoic Acid,CY 116,CY116,epsilon Aminocaproic Acid
D020789	Cathepsin C	A papain-like cysteine protease that has specificity for amino terminal dipeptides. The enzyme plays a role in the activation of several pro-inflammatory serine proteases by removal of their aminoterminal inhibitory dipeptides. Genetic mutations that cause loss of cathepsin C activity in humans are associated with PAPILLON-LEFEVRE DISEASE.	Dipeptidyl Aminopeptidase I,Dipeptidyl Peptidase I,Dipeptidyl Transferase
