Analyzing Airway Inflammation with Chemical Biology: Dissection of Acidic Mammalian Chitinase Function with a Selective Drug-like Inhibitor

Acidic mammalian chitinase (AMCase) is produced in the lung during allergic inflammation and asthma, and inhibition of enzymatic activity has been considered as a therapeutic strategy. However, most chitinase inhibitors are nonselective, additionally inhibiting chitotriosidase activity. Here, we des...
