Plasma kallikrein-IN-3, a potent inhibitor ( IC 50 : 0.15 μM) of plasma kallikrein, finds application in research related to hereditary angioedema, diabetic macular edema, and diabetic retinopathy [1].
Leupeptin is a competitive protease inhibitor produced by actinomycetes. Leupeptin can inhibit cysteine, serine and threonine peptidases. Leupeptin inhibits serine proteinases (trypsin (Ki=3.5 nM), plasmin (Ki= 3.4 nM), porcine kallikrein), and cysteine p
PKSI-527 is an inhibitor of plasma kallikrein (Ki = 0.81 μM). It is selective for plasma kallikrein over glandular kallikrein, plasmin, thrombin, urokinase, and Factor Xa (Kis = >500, 390, >500, 200, and >500 μM, respectively). PKSI-527 reduces bradykinin generation induced by kaolin and λ-carrageenan ex vivo in human plasma. It also prolongs partial thromboplastin and euglobulin clot lysis times. In vivo, PKSI-527 (300 mg/kg per day) reduces hyperplasia, pannus formation, and infiltration of inflammatory cells in the tarsal joint of mice with collagen-induced arthritis.
Berotralstat (BCX7353) is a second-generation, synthetic, and orally active plasma kallikrein inhibitor with low toxicity. It is highly specific and effectively used in the research of hereditary angioedema (HAE) attacks. Berotralstat functions by inhibiting the enzymatic activity of plasma kallikrein, which is responsible for the release of bradykinin. This blocking mechanism targets the major biologic peptide involved in the promotion of swelling and pain associated with HAE attacks[1][2].
Leupeptin is a naturally occurring protease inhibitor that can inhibit cysteine, serine and threonine peptidases. Leupeptin is an organic compound produced by actinomycetes. Leupeptin inhibits serine proteinases (trypsin (Ki=3.5 nM), plasmin (Ki= 3.4 nM), porcine kallikrein), and cysteine proteinases (papain, cathepsin B (Ki = 4.1 nM), endoproteinase Lys-C). It does not inhibit α-chymotrypsin or thrombin. Leupeptin is a competitive transition state inhibitor and its inhibition may be relieved by an excess of substrate.
