A novel human leukocyte elastase inhibitor, FR901277 was discovered in the fermentation broth of Streptomyces resistomycificus No. 7622. FR901277 has a molecular weight of 961 and a molecular formula of C47H63N9O13. The mode of inhibition is competitive, with a Ki of 1.2 x 10(-8) M. Oral administration of FR901277 at doses from 32 to 320 mg/kg significantly prevented human leukocyte elastase-induced foot edema in mice.

D010196 Pancreatic Elastase A protease of broad specificity, obtained from dried pancreas. Molecular weight is approximately 25,000. The enzyme breaks down elastin, the specific protein of elastic fibers, and digests other proteins such as fibrin, hemoglobin, and albumin. EC 3.4.21.36.
