Lactones 120-128 elastase, neutrophil expressed Homo sapiens 145-153 1447734-5 1992 The alpha-aryl-substituted lactones 1 and 2, which have greater conformational mobility in the guanidinoaryl linkage than I, selectively inhibited the trypsin-like enzymes, and they were relatively poor inactivators of alpha-chymotrypsin and human neutrophil elastase (HNE).
