Product Information

• Name: Leupeptin HCl
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Leupeptin HCl is a drug that inhibits the activity of proteases. It has been shown to have anti-tuberculosis properties and has been used in combination with other drugs for this purpose. Leupeptin HCl binds to the catalytic site of the enzyme, which prevents access by substrates and competitive inhibitors, thus inhibiting its activity. The drug has also been shown to inhibit mitochondrial membrane potential in damaged cells; it blocks calcium ion influx through voltage-dependent channels in damaged cells and protects against cytosolic calcium overload. Leupeptin HCl has been shown to have locomotor stimulant effects on rats, as well as biological properties such as binding to monoclonal antibodies or eosinophil peroxidase.
