Description: ENZYME INHIBITORS FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to novel functional polymer conjugates which inhibit one or more proteolytic and/or lipolytic enzymes. The polymer conjugates described herein are suitable for use in any context wherein proteolytic and/or lipolytic enzyme inhibition is indicated; inter alia, treatment of diaper rash. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Diaper rash is ubiquitous. It was once believed that contacting the skin with urine produced diaper rash, however, it is now understood that the irritation of tissue which manifests itself in "diaper rash" is primarily caused by endogenic proteolytic and/or lipolytic enzymes, inter alia, trypsin, chymotrypsin, elastase, pancreatic lipase, which comprise human feces. However, skin irritation is not limited to enzymes which comprise feces, for example, menstrual fluids, nasal fluids, colostomy fluids, dandruff, wound healing may all provide a source of enzymes which produce irritation. Proteolytic and lipolytic enzyme inhibitors are known. An example of effective inhibitors are "suicide inhibitors" which irreversibly react with the active site of the target enzyme thereby destroying the enzyme's ability to function. Reversible enzyme inhibitors, although not permanently inactivating the target enzyme, are also considered sufficiently effective to inhibit the effects of unwanted enzyme exposure. One drawback of low molecular weight enzyme inhibitors is their propensity to be readily absorbed through skin tissue, thereby entering into human cells wherein normal cell catabolism can be interrupted. There is a long felt need to provide a barrier against the pernicious enzymes, which act to irritate human skin, especially enzymes which produce diaper rash. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention meets the aforementioned needs in that it has been surprisingly discovered that proteolytic and/or lipolytic enzyme inhibitors can be effectively delivered to human skin where said inhibitors can function as a barrier to enzyme activity thereby preventing diaper rash or other unwanted skin conditions. The enzyme inhibitors of the present invention are polymer conjugates which have an enzyme inhibitor component and a functionalized polymer component. The enzyme inhibitor component comprises an acyl unit which reversibly reacts with a protease or lipase enzyme. The inhibitor components of the present invention function as broadly specific enzyme inhibitors, that is the inhibitors do not bind so specifically to one type of enzyme that the inhibitors are not available for interaction with other enzymes which are present. It has been surprisingly discovered that non-specific protease inhibitors provide broader protection against skin irritation than enzyme-specific inhibitors, because these enzyme specific inhibitors are ineffective against other enzymes which may be present and which contribute to skin irritation. A first aspect of the present invention relates to polymer conjugate which inhibits protease or lipase enzyme, said polymer conjugate comprising a polymer component bonded to an enzyme inhibitor component having an acyl unit capable of inhibiting the activity of one or more protease or lipase enzymes, wherein said inhibitor component is directly bonded to said polymer component or is attached thereto by a linking unit, said linking unit optionally capable of modulating the interaction between a target enzyme and said inhibitor component, and wherein further said polymer component remains bonded to said inhibitor component after said acyl unit interacts with said target enzyme. The inhibitor component is either bonded directly to said polymer component or connected by way of a linking unit, said linking unit also preferably capable of modulating the interaction between the target enzyme and said inhibitor component. When said linking unit also interacts with said enzyme, the polymer component also remains bonded to the inhibitor component. The inhibitors of the present invention interact with the target enzymes by way of an acyl unit. However, this interaction between a target enzyme and acyl group does not result in the enzyme inhibitor portion being cleaved from the polymeric backbone to which it is attached. Instead, even after the enzyme inhibitor component and target enzyme have formed an enzyme/substrate pair, the inhibitor component remains linked to the polymer component. The present invention further relates to a functionahzed polymer component comprising a moiety which acts as an anchoring template for one or more enzyme inhibitors while providing a means for delivering the conjugate molecule to human skin. The enzyme inhibitor component is optionally, but preferably, linked to the functionahzed polymer component by one or more linking groups. The present invention further relates to a process for preventing the formation of skin irritation which is due to the presence of proteolytic and/or lipolytic enzymes, said process comprises the step of contacting an effective amount of a polymer conjugate as described herein below to human skin. These and other objects, features and advantages will become apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art from a reading of the following detailed description and the appended claims. All percentages, ratios and proportions herein are by weight, unless otherwise specified. All temperatures are in degrees Celsius (° C) unless otherwise specified. All documents cited are in relevant part, incorporated herein by reference. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to the prevention of pernicious and otherwise unwanted skin conditions, inter alia, rash, irritation, which is caused by the contact of proteolytic and/or lipolytic enzymes with skin. Among the conditions which the present invention seeks to ameliorate is diaper rash. The present invention achieves the desired result by applying to the skin by a suitable means a sufficient amount of a polymer conjugate which inhibits the activity of one or more enzymes which are the cause of said unwanted skin condition. The polymer conjugates of the present invention comprise an enzyme inhibitor component and a functionahzed polymer component. The primary means by which the enzyme inhibitor component interacts with an enzyme is by way of an acyl unit, however, other moieties which comprise the conjugate can serve to modulate enzyme/substrate interaction. The acyl unit can be activated towards interaction with the enzyme or the acyl unit can be masked which results in reduced availability of the acyl unit and therefore reduced interaction with unwanted substrates. The enzyme inhibitors of the present invention are preferably broad spectrum in their ability to inhibit enzymes. The term "broad spectrum" is defined herein as "an inhibitor which will bind to more than one enzyme and which does not bind to one particular enzyme in so strongly a manner as to exclude the binding of said inhibitor with other enzymes which are present. " As stated herein above the enzyme inhibitor component comprises a "target enzyme interacting acyl unit". The term "acyl unit" is defined herein as "a carbonyl comprising unit which may be in one or more precursor forms, inter alia, as a member of a ring, as an anhydride. " Preferred acyl units are esters and aldehydes, more preferably esters. The enzyme inhibitor component of the present invention is bonded to a polymer component. The enzyme inhibitor component can be bonded directly to the polymer component or it can be bonded to the polymer component by means of a linking unit, preferably a linking unit which participates in the interaction of the inhibitor component with a target enzyme. Preferably the linking unit facilitates interaction of the enzyme and inhibitor by "modulating" the interaction between the enzyme and inhibitor. The terms "modulating" or "modulate" can have one or more meanings, however, one non-limiting example of this term is "facilitating the alignment of the inhibitor component into the enzyme active site". Another equally suitable meaning for these terms relates to "providing a means by which the interaction between the inhibitor component and a target enzyme is modified, inter alia, strengthened, weakened, abated, prolonged". Preferably the enzyme inhibitor component of the present invention further comprises a unit or moiety which enhances the "broadness" or "range" of the enzyme inhibition or has the capacity to strengthen the interaction between the parent inhibitor and the target enzyme. The conjugates of the present invention further comprise a functionahzed polymer component which acts as a delivery template for one or more enzyme inhibitor components while serving other important function, inter alia, providing a means for anchoring the conjugate molecule to human skin, solublizing the conjugate into a carrier. The functionahzed polymer component is typically an amphiphilic polymer which is capable of being directly attached to the enzyme inhibitor component or of being attached thereto by a "selected" linking unit. A "selected" linking unit is one which when coupled with a particular enzyme inhibitor component, enhances the desired activity of said inhibitor. The polymer component also provides the conjugate with a source of increased molecular weight which acts to inhibit the absoφtion of the enzyme inhibitor into skin tissue. The polymer component also acts to facilitate formulation of the enzyme inhibitor into carriers or facilitates deposition of the conjugate directly to skin or by way of a substrate, diaper top sheet, inter alia, to which the conjugate is applied. The polymer conjugates of the present invention are utilized in an effective amount. For the puφoses of the present invention the term "effective amount" is defined herein as the amount necessary to provide a reduction in enzyme activity in at least one inhibition assay. Preferred assays which are described herein are, inter alia, "Fecal Protease Inhibition Assay", "Skin Test of Inhibition of IL-lα Production". Suitable tests also include tests which differentiate the specificity of said enzyme inhibitor, for example, which differentiate the particular proteases obstructed by said inhibitor. POLYMER CONJUGATES Enzyme Inhibitor Component The enzyme inhibitor component of the present invention comprises one or more units which have at least one acyl unit, preferably the acyl unit is a masked acyl unit. The preferred acyl units of the present invention are ester units and aldehyde units, more preferred are esters whether linear or part of a ring (cyclic esters). For the puφoses of the present invention the term "masked acyl unit" is understood to be an acyl unit which is reactive towards an enzyme, for example, the serine hydroxyl unit of protease enzyme active sites, but not to common substrates, inter alia, water, alcohol. Linear Enzyme Inhibitors One embodiment of the present invention relates to "linear" enzyme inhibitors having the general formula: [Inhibitor],, • (L) z -[Poly] y wherein [Inhibitor] is an enzyme inhibiting functionality; L is a linking unit; [Poly] is a polymer component; the indices have the following values: x is from 1 to 50, y is from 1 to 10, z is 0 or 1. The polymer conjugates of the present invention may comprise a single enzyme inhibiting unit having multiple polymer units attached thereto, multiple inhibiting functionalities attached to a single polymer component, or mixtures thereof. The preferred linear polymer conjugates of the present invention comprise an inhibitor wherein an acyl unit, [Acyl], is attached to a template, T. The template, T, may serve one or more functions as described herein below. The preferred linear polymer conjugates have the formula: [Acyl] w -T- ■ (L) 2 -[Poly] y wherein the index w is from 1 to 6. Preferred examples include polymer conjugates comprising one acyl unit (w = 1), bis-acyl unit conjugates (w = 2) , and tris-acyl unit conjugates (w = 3), preferably bis-acyl unit conjugates having one acyl unit tied back into the template as described herein below. Preferably the acyl units of the present invention comprise one or more enzyme modulating units [Mod]- which serve to modulate the reactivity of the acyl unit towards a target enzyme. A preferred example of a linear enzyme inhibitor acyl unit which does not comprise a [Mod] unit is -C0 2 " (carboxylate). Non-limiting examples of acyl units which also comprise a [Mod] unit include: a) esters; b) aldehydes; c) acetals; d) ketones; e) ketals; f) thioesters; g) thioacetals; h) anhydrides; i) and mixtures thereof. The following is an example of a polymer conjugate wherein the enzyme inhibitor comprises an acyl unit which is an ester unit: wherein [Mod] units are preferably C Cι 2 alkyl units, more preferably C C alkyl units. Further examples include polymer conjugates having the formula: wherein [Mod] is hydrogen for aldehydes acyl units and [Mod] is an alkyl unit for ketone acyl units. Other examples of acyl units include masked acyl units, inter alia, acetals, orthoesters having the formula: [Mod] b — C(H) b .— T- (L) z - [Poly] wherein [Mod] is preferably a C 1 -C 12 alkoxy unit; b has the value of 2 or 3 and b' has the value of 0 or 1 ; provided b + b' = 3. The preferred linear polymer conjugates of the present invention have the formula: X [Mod]— (X) a — C— (X) a -T- (L) z -[Poly] w wherein each [Mod] is independently selected from: a) hydrogen; b) Ci-Cjg substituted or unsubstituted, linear or branched alkyl; preferably CpCg linear unsubstituted alkyl; more preferably C C 4 alkyl, inter alia, methyl and ethyl; c) C 3 -C 1 8 substituted or unsubstituted, cycloalkyl; preferably C 6 -Cιo unsubstituted cycloalkyl; d) C 2 -C 18 substituted or unsubstituted, linear or branched alkenyl; e) C 2 -C 18 substituted or unsubstituted, linear or branched alkynyl; f) C 6 -C 18 substituted or unsubstituted aryl; and g) a unit which is tied back to said T unit to form a ring comprising from 1 to 5 carbon atoms; and h) mixtures thereof; wherein X is CH 2 , NH, O, S, CF 2 The inhibitor component, T, may comprise one or more units, as described herein below, which also serve to modulate the specificity of the inhibitor for a particular substrate. The polymer conjugates of the present invention may comprise one or more inhibitor components. When multiple inhibitors are present, they are preferably not suicide inhibitors, but reversible inhibitors. If an inhibitor irreversibly binds to an enzyme, the size of the bound enzyme may serve to occlude the binding of other enzymes to the remaining inhibitor components. Non-limiting examples of T units which comprise the linear polymer conjugates according to the present invention are selected from the group consisting of: a) substituted or unsubstituted, linear or branched C -C 22 alkylene; b) substituted or unsubstituted, linear or branched C -C 22 alkenylene; c) substituted or unsubstituted C6-C 22 cycloalkylene; d) substituted or unsubstituted C6-C 22 heterocyclic alkylene; e) substituted or unsubstituted C 6 -C 22 arylene; f) substituted or unsubstituted C7-C 22 alkylarylene; g) esters, carbonates, amides, ureas, or carbamates having the formula: O — R— (X)a-C— (X) a -R 2 wherein R 1 is selected from the group consisting of: i) substituted or unsubstituted, linear or branched C 1 -C 2 alkylene; ii) substituted or unsubstituted, linear or branched C 2 -C 22 alkenylene; iii) substituted or unsubstituted C -C 22 cycloalkylene; iv) substituted or unsubstituted C 6 -C 22 heterocyclic alkylene; v) substituted or unsubstituted C 6 -C 22 arylene; vi) substituted or unsubstituted C7-C 22 alkylarylene; R 2 is selected from the group consisting of: i) substituted or unsubstituted, linear or branched C C 22 alkyl; ii) substituted or unsubstituted, linear or branched C 2 -C 22 alkenyl; iii) substituted or unsubstituted C 6 -C 22 cycloalkyl; iv) substituted or unsubstituted C 6 -C 22 heterocyclic alkyl; v) substituted or unsubstituted C 6 -C 22 aryl; vi) substituted or unsubstituted C7-C 22 alkylaryl; X is O, S, NH, and mixtures thereof, each index a is independently 0 or 1. However, the carbonyl unit of said ester, carbonate, amide, urea, or carbamate is not the acyl unit which comprises the [Acyl] unit which is the point of primary interaction with the target enzyme, but said carbonyl unit would have the capacity to provide enzyme interaction if designed to do so by the formulator. Enzyme Inhibitor Dimers The compounds of the present invention which are suitable for providing protection against skin irritation include "enzyme inhibitor dimers" having the formula: O O II II [Poly]— (L) z — T-C-D-C-T— (L) z -[Poly] wherein T is the same as for linear enzyme inhibitors, L and [Poly] are defined herein below, and D is a dimer linking unit. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, D is oxygen which when taken together with the two adjacent carbonyl units forms a linear anhydride which after interaction with a target enzyme, releases a second, un-associated, polymer conjugate. It is not necessary, nor is it a preferred embodiment, that each T, L, and [Poly] be the same for both polymer conjugates which form the dimer. The formulator can make use of the differential reactivity of enzymes and acyl units to deliver protease and/or lipase inhibitors of differing inhibition characteristics by using the linear "enzyme inhibition dimer" polymer conjugates of the present invention. Polymer Conjugates Comprising an Acyl Unit as Part of a Ring Protease and/or lipase inhibitors which have the acyl unit as part of a ring are a preferred embodiment of the present invention. For the puφoses of providing an example, an acyl unit which is part of a γ-lactone is used to exemplify "acyl unit-containing rings". A γ-lactone having the formula: is an example of an acyl unit which is part of a ring. The units R', R", or R'" may represent a bond to the inhibitor component, a linking unit, or a polymer component. As is the case of the other embodiments listed herein above, the inhibitor component remains bound to the polymer component after the acyl unit has interacted with the target enzyme thereby providing a polymer component bonded enzyme inhibitor. For example, a γ-lactone polymer conjugate of the present invention having the general formula: will have the general formula: [enzyme] I OH C=0 after the ring-formed acyl unit interacts with a target enzyme. Set forth as a contrasting example, is a polymer conjugate having the general formula: which is capable by virtue of the 4-guanidinobenzyl moiety of reacting with a trypsin enzyme active site serine hydroxyl unit to displace the [Poly]-CH 2 0- unit. The effect of this reaction is the acylation of the active site serine hydroxyl. However, in reacting with the enzyme, the inhibitor portion which comprises the 4-guanidinobenzoate moiety, is detached from the polymer component Once liberated from the enzyme, this inhibitor can potentially diffuse into human skin tissue with deleterious side-effects This same 4-guanιdιnobenzoate enzyme inhibition unit can be suφπsingly incoφorated into a polymer conjugate according to the present invention wherein the inhibitor is free to interact with the enzyme via the acyl unit, but the inhibitor remains tethered to the polymer component For example, the inhibition unit can be formed into a heterocycle having the formula wherein the enzyme inhibitor T is released by the opening of the 4H-benzoxazιn-4-one [b] ring but remains linked to the polymer component Without wishing to be limited by theory, once the enzyme has interacted with the conjugate acylating unit, the species which remains will have the proposed formula one advantage of which is the polymer component remains linked to the enzyme inhibitor component The formulator may make further use of this acyl unit containing ring Any T unit which comprises the ring system having the formula Non-limiting examples of other fused rings wherein X is selected from the group consisting of X is CH 2 , NH, O, S, CF 2 , and mixtures thereof; and each D, E, F, and G is independently selected from the group consisting of CH, CH 2 , N, NH, O, S, CF 2 , and mixtures thereof include: i) ϋ) iii) iv) v) vi) vii) viii) ix) x) and mixtures thereof. Preferred T units include: i) ϋ) iii) iv) v) and mixtures thereof. The T units may be linked to the polymer component in any manner which the formulator prefers, for example the most preferred units are the 4H-3,l-benzoxazin-4-one heterocycles having the formula: which are preferably linked to the polymeric component via the 2 or 5 ring position. However, the formulator can equally well attach more than one polymer component to an inhibitor component, for example the polymer conjugate having the formula: It will be noted by the formulator that only the exocyclic portion of the linking unit is rendered distinct from the heterocyclic ring system above. The examples herein above can effectively deliver a benzoic acid-like inhibitor, inter alia, 4-guanidinobenzoate, and part of the linking group is taken up as part of the benzoxazin-4-one ring system. Herein below only the exocyclic component of the linking groups are delineated, an the formulator is not restricted in using any part thereof to form other heterocycles which suitably deliver protease and/or lipase inhibitors. Further non-limiting examples of acyl unit comprising ring systems which are suitable for use in the present invention include: i) ϋ) iii) iv) The enzyme inhibition components of the present invention further comprises one or more enzyme differentiating units, R.

The polymer conjugates of the present invention are effective in treating and/or preventing one or more skin conditions, including irritation, resulting from the contact of enzymes with skin, inter alia, diaper rash. One effective means for delivering the stable conjugates to skin is via an article of manufacture, preferably an "absorbent article". Non-limiting examples of absorbent articles include sanitary napkins, panty liners, diapers, incontinence briefs, training briefs. Typically the polymer conjugates of the present invention are formulated into a skin- compatible carrier which serves to solublized the conjugate in addition to providing a vehicle for uniform delivery of the enzyme inhibitor to the skin surface. The formulator of articles of manufacture which employ the enzyme inhibiting conjugates of the present invention will recognize the vehicle may take any form, inter alia, aqueous, non-aqueous, dry powder. The amount of polymer conjugate which is present in the formulation depends upon the embodiment chosen by the formulator. In some instances, the polymer component of the conjugate itself may have properties which allow for the direct application of the conjugate without the need for a vehicle. However, when incoφorated as part of a composition, the conjugate will comprise from about 0.01%, preferably from about 1% to about 20%, preferably to about 10% by weight, of the delivery vehicle. The following are non-limiting examples of assays which may be used to determine the effective levels of the polymer conjugates of the present invention. Fecal Protease Inhibition Assay By way of illustration, to determine the activity of fecal protease inhibiting compounds, the compounds of the present invention may be tested in a standard enzyme assay for protease activity, as follows: Infant feces are collected in a manner to keep them free from urine contamination and mixed with water to obtain a weight by weight (w/w) mixture (e.g., 1 :4 w/w). This mixture is then mixed thoroughly to obtain a homogeneous suspension by homogenization or sonication. The feces are then diluted with a reaction buffer, described below, to obtain a fecal concentration which, when added to a protease substrate, hydrolyzes the substrate over a 5 to 60 minute period. Using such a method, for example, fecal trypsin activity may be determined at pH 8.2 in a 50 nM Tris-HCl buffer with 20 mM CaCl2, containing 0.3 mM of the composition to be tested; fecal chymotrypsin activity at pH 7.6 in a 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer with 20 mM CaCl2, containing 0.05 mM of the composition to be tested; and fecal leucine aminopeptidase activity at pH 7.2 in 50 mM sodium phosphate containing the composition to be tested. To test the efficacy of the compositions, several different concentrations of each putative inhibitory composition are added to duplicate feces-containing reaction buffers, and the inhibition of the enzyme activity is measured. Compounds having an IC50 of 100 μM or less are preferred compounds of the invention. More preferred are compounds having an IC50 to IC90, and most preferably an ICso to IC90, of 100 μM or less. In Vitro Skin Test for Inhibition of IL-lα Production An in vitro method to determine the efficacy of the compounds of the present invention in preventing the proinflammatory response of the skin to feces and fecal enzymes may be performed as follows: Human keratinocytes are obtained from epidermal tissue and cultured in serum-free medium in plastic culture vessels containing a nylon mesh surface for a period of time until they are confluent. The mesh surface is then raised to the liquid air interface in order to promote differentiation and formation of multilayered organized layers analogous to those found in vivo, including a well defined stratum corneum barrier. Any cell culture system that promotes the growth and differentiation of keratinocytes, as described, may be employed. A commercially ® available cell culture system suitable for use is Epiderm (MatTek Coφoration). Infant feces are collected in a manner to keep them free of urine contamination and diluted with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) (pH 7.2 - 7.4). The mixture is then mixed thoroughly to obtain a homogenous suspension by homogenization or sonication. To assay for IL-lα production due to fecal enzyme activity, an aliquot of the homogenate is diluted with PBS and added to the surface of a control culture in a culture vessel. To assay for inhibition of IL- 1 α production due to protease activity, a predetermined quantity of a putative inhibitor (compound) is added to an otherwise identical diluted aliquot of the homogenate prior to adding it to the surface of a test culture. The cultures are allowed to incubate in a controlled atmosphere. At selected times, the control cultures and inhibitor-treated test cultures, and the underlying culture media are harvested. The culture media are assayed for the presence of IL-lα by known methods. For example, a suitable assay for IL-lα is an enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent method (ϊζ) commercially available as Quantikine from R&D Systems. The percent reduction in IL- 1 α production due to the presence of the compound (inhibitor) is calculated as follows: (IL-l α from control culture) - (IL-l α from test culture) % Reduction = x 100 (IL-l α from control culture) The polymer conjugates of the present invention are effective in treating and/or preventing one or more skin conditions, including irritation, resulting from the contact of enzymes with skin, inter alia, diaper rash. One effective means for delivering the stable conjugates to skin is via an article of manufacture, preferably an "absorbent article".
