Abstract

Compounds having proteolytic inhibitory activity useful for treating diseases, particularly as applied to the treatment of sepsis, AIDS or autoimmune diseases, resulting from a decrease in the circulating level of mature protein hormones derived from the proteolytic cleavage of prohormone precursors such as 26 kDProTNF, and methods for identifying compounds having the desired inhibitory activity are provided.
