Abstract
The inhibition mode of a retro-inverso (RI) inhibitor containing a hydroxyethylamine dipeptide isostere against the human T-cell leukemia virus type-1 (HTLV-1) protease was examined. Enzymatic evaluation of the RI-modified inhibitor containing a D-allo-Ile residue revealed that HTLV-1 was competitively inhibited. IC50 values of the RI-modified inhibitor and pepstatin A, a standard inhibitor of aspartic proteases, were nearly equivalent.
