Immunopharmacology Comments
Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a leukocyte-derived redox enzyme whose peroxidase enzymatic activity generates hypohalous acids that constitute the major component responsible for neutrophil antimicrobial activity, and as such MPO participates in the innate immune defense mechanism. Since the discovery that MPO-derived oxidants contribute towards the propagation of inflammatory diseases (including cystic fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Parkinson's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, acute kidney injury, atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease) [6,10], the pharma industry has been on the hunt for drug-like inhibitors of pathological MPO activity [7].

General Comments
Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a heme enzyme that participates in the formation of microbicidal reactive oxidants. It is most abundantly expressed in neutrophil granulocytes. MPO released from neutrophils and monocytes catalyzes the formation of reactive chlorinating species that are capable of oxidizing proteins and altering biological function.
