The stability of tert-butoxycarbonyl-Tyr-Leu-Val-CH2Cl (YLV) with inhibitory effect on human leukocyte elastase was investigated in aqueous solution, alpha-chymotrypsin solution and biological media. In all cases studied here, the degradation was observed as a pseudo-first order reaction. The half-life for the degradation of YLV in an aqueous solution of pH 7.4 at 37 degrees C was 35.9 h. YLV was most stable at about pH 3.8-5.8 and the effect of temperature was explained by the Arrhenius equation. The activation energies of the degradation in aqueous solutions at pH 2.0, 4.8, and 7.4 were 24.6, 22.1 and 23.4 kcal/mol, respectively. The degradation products in aqueous solution were analyzed by HPLC-MS and were estimated as Boc-Tyr-Leu-Val-CH2OH at pH 7.4 and H2N-Tyr-Leu-Val-CH2Cl at pH 2.0. In a bovine pancreas alpha-chymotrypsin solution at 37 degrees C, the half-life of YLV was 15 min at 25.6 micrograms/ml of alpha-chymotrypsin solution. In the rat plasma, the half-life of YLV was 42.4 min (YLV 26.7 micrograms/ml plasma), and in rat liver, lung and spleen homogenates, the degradation rate constants of YLV were 37.6, 10.3 and 23.5 times larger than that in plasma solution, respectively (all fluids containing 5 mg protein/ml). YLV was less stable than nafarelin acetate, secretin, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and gonadorelin in an aqueous solution of pH 7.4.
