Aliskiren (CGP 60536) D6 hemifumarate is a deuterium-labeled Aliskiren hemifumarate. Aliskiren hemifumarate is a direct and orally active renin inhibitor (IC50: 1.5 nM).
The renin fluorogenic substrate consists of the normal peptide substrate for renin which has been linked to the fluorophore EDANS at one end and to a non-fluorescent quenching molecule (Dabcyl) at the other. After cleavage by renin, the product (peptide-EDANS) is brightly fluorescent and can be easily analyzed using an excitation wavelength of 340 nm and emission wavelengths of 485-510 nm.
Renin FRET Substrate I is a specific compound that functions as a substrate for human renin. It is specifically designed to contain the exact cleavage site found in the N-terminal peptide of human angiotensinogen.
