3-Benzylpyrrolidine-2,5-dione

CAS: 66195-04-8

3-Benzylpyrrolidine-2,5-dione is a potent and selective serine protease inhibitor. It binds to the active site of the enzyme, blocking the formation of an acyl enzyme intermediate that is required for biological activity. 3-Benzylpyrrolidine-2,5-dione is effective at inhibiting a wide range of serine proteases, including those from bacteria and viruses. This drug has been shown to be chemically stable in solution and does not react with other molecules in solution, which may be due to its carbonyl group. 3-Benzylpyrrolidine-2,5-dione also irreversibly inhibits serine proteases by covalent modification of key amino acid residues on the enzyme's active site.
