Abstract

A unique class of tissue kallikrein inhibitors is provided which are specific for tissue kallikreins and do not substantially cross-react with plasma kallikreins or other serine proteases in-vivo. These inhibitors are substrate analogues of low molecular weight kininogens but are highly inhibitory, stable and resistant to enzymatic hydrolysis, and release non-toxic degradation products.
