Which enzymes degrade dynorphins and what drugs inhibit these enzymes?

Question

Which enzymes degrade dynorphins and what drugs are there available to inhibit said enzymes?

Answer 1

The main enzymes involved in dynorphin metabolism are carboxypeptidase and aminopeptidases.

You can look up inhibitors of these enzymes, but I think that leucinethiol and captopril may be two such inhibitors.
