1. The original report was by Saito, M., Higuchi, N., Kawaguchi, N., Tanaka, T. and Murachi, T. at the 4th FAOB Congress in Singapore, November 30, 1986 (Abstracts of Papers, p58).
12. This reference described synthesis and the effect of morpholinoureidyl-L-Leu-L-homophenylalanyl-CH2F (mu-L-hF-fmk, P34089), but not those of Val (mu-V-hF-fmk, i.e., CI-V). Since the described method can be applied to mu-V-hF-fmk (CI-V) and no other reference describing the synthesis of CI-V was found, this reference is cited here.
17,18. The AK275 was first synthesized as a diastereometric mixture (called CX275); however, since a later study56 showed that the L, L isomer has inhibitory activity, this active structure is shown here, and so are for other AK series inhibitors.
20. In the original report, leupeptin was shown to have DL-argininal; however, a later study55 showed that L-argininal, but not D-argininal, has a strong affinity to trypsin. Thus, the structure is shown as Ac-L-Leu-L-Leu-L-argininal.
33. The original report was by Inoue, J., Cui, Y.-S., Sakai, O., Nakamura, M., Yuen, P.-W., and Wang, K.K.W. (1999) α-Substituted hydrazides having calpain inhibitory activity, in Proceedings of the FASEB Summer Conference on Calpains, 1999 June 20–23, Breckenridge, CO.
41. This reference did not mention about the stereochemical analysis, and, thus, the structure is an estimate from those of L-carnitine and leupeptin.
42. This reference did not mention about the stereochemical analysis, and, thus, the structure is an estimate from those of L-cysteic acid and leupeptin.
44. This reference did not mention about the stereochemical analysis, and, thus, the structure is an estimate from those of pregabalin and leupeptin.
