Effect of thiol compounds on human complement component C4.


ABSTRACT: Thiol compounds have been investigated as inhibitors of the covalent binding reaction of human complement protein C4 using Sepharose-C1s as a combined activating and binding surface. o- and p-substituted aminothiophenols are equally effective inhibitors, whereas the m-substituted compound is a less potent inhibitor. The anti-hypertensive drug captopril is also shown to inhibit the covalent binding reaction. A comparison of the effects of these compounds on the covalent binding reaction of isolated C4A and C4B has been made. Results suggest that a Pro-to-Leu substitution in C4B is likely to account for the differences in inhibitory potency of C4B compared with C4A observed with the aromatic inhibitors.
