Enzyme kinetics analysis reveals peptide inhibitors can selectively target cysteine cathepsins, suggesting new drug design strategies.

Peptide inhibitors can effectively reduce tumor cell viability by targeting cathepsins L and S.
Enzyme kinetics show cathepsin L has a higher affinity for the peptide Ac-PLVE-fmk than cathepsin S at pH 4.6.
Differential targeting of cathepsins can be achieved by altering pH in cellular environments, impacting inhibitor effectiveness.
CS-PEP1 demonstrates mixed inhibition of cathepsins L and S, suggesting differentiated therapeutic strategies against cancers.

Chepikova et al. (2025) studied this question.
