Boron analogs of amino acid/peptide protease inhibitors

Abstract

A method of inhibiting protease activity, growth, and colony formation in mammalian tumor cells by boronic acid analogs of amino acids, dipeptides and tripeptides. A method of coupling a boronic acid analog of an amino acid to other N-protected amino acids or N-protected dipeptides and compositions formed from the coupled products.
