Abstract

Abstract Novel compositions of matter of the general formula A--L--Phe--L--Arg--Y are described, in which A is lower alkanoyl, pyroglutamyl, substituted with --OH or halogen, and cyclo lower alkanoyls; Y is --OH or a known tag with either radioactive, fluorogenic, chromogenic or chemiluminescent properties. The compounds of the invention are useful as novel substrates for plasma kallikrein. A new method of performing the assay for plasma kallikrein is also described.
