Lodelaben is a human neutrophil elastase inhibitor with an IC50 and Ki of 0.5 and 1.5 μM, respectively. Results indicate that the inhibition of human neutrophil elastase (HNE) by Lodelaben is non-competetive. Lodelaben is not inhibitory at 10 μM with the synthetic substrates or at 5 μM vith Azocoll. Pseudomonas aeruginosa elastase, a metallo-protease is not inhibited by Lodelaben. Cathepsin G activity, however, is inhibited by Lodelaben, with an IC50 of approximately 2.5 μM, with Azocoll as substrate.
