H-Ala-pNA is an L-amino acid p-nitroaniline (pNA) derivative and a specific substrate for leukotriene A4 hydrolase. The D-enantiomer of H-Ala-pNA shows no activity toward leukotriene A4 hydrolase. H-Ala-pNA can be catalytically hydrolyzed by leukotriene A4 hydrolase, and the p-nitroaniline produced during the reaction is monitored spectrophotometrically at 405 nm to enable quantitative detection of enzyme activity. H-Ala-pNA is used to evaluate the potency of inhibitors targeting the amidase activity of leukotriene A4 hydrolase[1].
