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 wherein said inhibitors can function as a barrier to enzyme activity thereby preventing diaper rash. 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 a heterocyclic ring template and an enzyme targeting unit. The functionalized polymer component comprises 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 functionalized polymer component by a linking group. A first aspect of the present invention relates to an enzyme inhibiting polymer conjugate which is capable of inhibiting one or more proteolytic enzymes having the formula: [Poly]- -(L) 2 -T i wherein T is a heterocyclic unit; L is a linking group; [Poly] is a polymeric unit, / indicates the number of said heterocyclic units which comprise said conjugate and has the value of from 1 to 100; z is 0 or 1. 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 functionalized polymer component. The enzyme inhibitor component comprises a heterocyclic ring template and an enzyme targeting unit. Key to the effectiveness of the enzyme inhibitor is the fact that the inhibitor comprises "an enzyme specifying unit" which has been modified. The enzyme inhibitor component comprises a unit which has the role of either providing specificity for a particular enzyme or assists in deactivating the targeted enzyme. The conjugates of the present invention further comprise a functionalized polymer component which acts as a delivery template for one or more enzyme inhibitors while providing a means for anchoring the conjugate molecule to human skin. The functionalized 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 linking unit. The polymer component also provides the conjugate with a source of increased molecular weight which acts to inhibit the absorption 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 conjugates of the present invention also optionally comprise a linking unit which serves to tether the enzyme inhibitor portion of the conjugate to the polymeric component. Although the polymer may be bonded directly to the enzyme inhibiting heterocycle, preferably a linking group is present to facilitate preparation and attachment of the polymer thereto. The polymer conjugates of the present invention are utilized in an effective amount. For the purposes 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 heterocyclic moieties, designated herein as T units. The heterocyclic moiety is further characterized in that it comprises a unit (enzyme modulator) which interacts with one or more protease or lipase enzymes. Said heterocyclic moieties further optionally comprise one or more enzyme differentiating units, R. The heterocyclic moieties of the present invention comprise 2 fused rings; an "A ring" which is common to all of the conjugates and a "B ring" which can vary widely and is further described herein below. The A ring has the formula: and is the ring which is preferably attached to the optional linking group or directly to the polymer component. It is this ring which is capable of reversibly reacting with a target enzyme via acylation. The acylating unit of the present heterocyclic moieties has a different configuration with respect to prior art acylating units. Key is the fact that the present invention provides for a conjugate which is not linked via the acylating unit itself and secondly the acylating unit is tied back into a ring. This key structural difference prevents the release of the acylating agent upon interaction with an enzyme or a hydrolyzing agent, inter alia, water, urine, body fluids. The present invention overcomes any pejorative effects from pre-mature hydrolysis of the conjugate. For example, if the enzyme inhibitor component becomes prematurely detached from the polymer component, the inhibitor can then diffuse into healthy skin tissue. This has two immediate effects; the loss of active substrate and the possible infusion of an unwanted active into skin cells. This problem of detachment of the inhibitor component from the polymer component has been overcome by tying back the acylating unit into a ring. The preferred acylating agent of the present invention is the ester carboxyl unit. A prior art polymer conjugate which is linked to an enzyme inhibitor via the ester carboxyl unit has the formula: and said conjugate is capable or reacting with a trypsin enzyme active site serine hydroxyl unit to displace the [Poly]-CH 2 0- unit which corresponds to the present invention as the polymer component. The effect of this reaction is the acylation of the enzyme active site serine hydroxyl moiety. Although specific to attack by the serine hydroxyl unit, this ester linkage is also potentially attacked by other hydrolyzing units. Hydrolysis of the above prior art inhibitor component from the polymer component prior to attack by the desired enzyme has the pejorative effect of potentially prematurely releasing the enzyme inhibitor from the enzyme. Indeed, if the enzyme inhibition takes place in a reversible manner, the inhibitor can be liberated from the enzyme and can diffuse into human skin tissue with potentially deleterious side-effects. When the 4-guanidinobenzyl unit is incorporated into a polymer conjugate of the present invention, this results in a conjugate having the general formula: which provides resistance to fragmentation of the inhibitor component from the polymer conjugate while allowing the enzyme inhibitor component to be effectively delivered to enzyme active site via the acyl unit. 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. If the enzyme interaction is reversible, then the resulting high molecular weight substrate will not be capable of diffusing into human skin tissue. In this manner linking units, especially linking units which are inextricably part of the ring system, can serve to attenuate the interaction of the inhibitor and a target enzyme. The heterocyclic units of the present invention comprise units having the formula selected from the group consisting of: i) ϋ) iii) iv) v) vi) vii) viii) ix) x) xi) and mixtures thereof; wherein X is selected from the group consisting of -CH 2 -, -NH-, -0-, -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-, -0-, -S-, -CF 2 -, and mixtures thereof.

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- 1 α 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 Corporation). 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- lα 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- 1 α by known methods. For example, a suitable assay for IL-lα is an enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent method (R) commercially available as Quantikine from R&D Systems. The percent reduction in IL-lα 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- 1 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". Non-limiting examples of absorbent articles include sanitary napkins, panty liners, diapers, incontinence briefs, training briefs. Adjunct biologically active ingredients The formulator can add to the compositions of the present invention one or more "adjunct biologically active ingredients" to adjust the properties of the composition or to serve as an aid, inter alia, for healing of skin, increase enzyme inhibition. A non-limiting example of a biologically active adjunct ingredient is hexamidine, 4,4'- [l,6-hexanediylbis(oxy)]bisbenzenecarboximidamide. Hexamidine is preferred as an adjunct to the polymer conjugates of the present invention. Without being limited by theory or application, hexamidine has multiple properties ascribed thereto, inter alia, as a topical antiseptic: Bordeaux Med., M. J. Fenelon, 3, 867 (1970); as an antibacterial: J. Int. Med. Res., G. Micheal et al., 14, 205 (1986). Hexamidine is preferably delivered as the diisethionate as Elestab HP 100 ® available ex Rhone-Poulenc; inter alia, as RF 2535, Desomedine, Esomedine, Hexomedine, Ophtamedine. FORMULATIONS For topical administration to the epidermis, the conjugates of the present invention may be formulated as ointments, creams, lotions, etc. which can be directly applied or delivered via an article of manufacture, inter alia, a diaper, facial tissue. Ointments and creams may, for example, be formulated with an aqueous or oily base with the addition of suitable thickening and/or gelling agents. Lotions may be formulated with an aqueous or oily base and will in general also contain one or more emulsifying agents, stabilizing agents, dispersing agents, suspending agents, thickening agents, preservatives, emollients, skin conditioning agents, or colorizing agents. Typically the polymer conjugates of the present invention are formulated into a skin- compatible carrier which serves to solublize 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 incorporated as part of a composition, the conjugate will typically comprise from about 0.01%, preferably from about 1% to about 20%, preferably to about 10% by weight, of the delivery vehicle. The compositions of the present invention will preferably comprise one or more adjunct ingredients which include carriers. For the purposes of the present invention the term "carriers" is used interchangeably with the term "emollients", "lotion base", etc. The formulator will recognize that certain carriers will have an emollient property or can serve more than one function. The compositions of the present invention comprise from about 1%, preferably from about 5%, more preferably from about 10% to about 99%, preferably to about 95%, more preferably to about 80%, most preferably to about 50% by weight, of one or more carriers.
