Phe-Ala-CHN2. Experimental Parasitology91, 327–333. Cysteine proteinases were tested
for their suitability as targets for chemotherapy of sleeping sickness using the peptidyl
inhibitor Z-Phe-Ala-diazomethyl ketone (Z-Phe-Ala-CHN2). In vitro, the inhibitory
concentration of Z-Phe-Ala-CHN; 2required to reduce the growth rate by 50% was 400 times …
