Function[LKHA4_HUMAN] Epoxide hydrolase that catalyzes the final step in the biosynthesis of the proinflammatory mediator leukotriene B4. Has also aminopeptidase activity.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] Publication Abstract from PubMedActivation of the leukotriene A4 hydrolase (LTA4H) aminopeptidase (AP) activity with 4-methoxydiphenylmethane (4MDM) promoted resolution of neutrophil infiltration in a murine cigarette smoke-induced model for emphysematous chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Recently, 4-(4-benzylphenyl)thiazol-2-amine (ARM1) was published as a ligand for LTA4H with potential anti-inflammatory properties. To investigate the effect of modifier structure on enzyme kinetics of LTA4H, a series of analogues bearing structural features of ARM1 and 4MDM were synthesized using trifluoroborate Suzuki coupling reactions. Following, the 2.8 A X-ray crystal structure of LTA4H complexed with 4-OMe-ARM1, a 4MDM-ARM1 hybrid molecule, was determined. Kinetic analysis showed that ARM1 and related analogues lowered affinity for the enzyme-substrate complex, resulting in a change of mechanism from hyperbolic mixed predominately catalytic activation (HMx(Sp < Ca)A) as observed for 4MDM to a predominately specific activation (HMx(Sp > Ca)A) mechanism. 4-OMe-ARM1 was then shown to dose responsively reduce LTB4 production in human neutrophils.
