UsesCalpeptin is used to to inhibit the activities of cathepsin L and calpain-1. Calpeptin blocked the expression of aspartyl protease cathepsin D, amyloid precursor protein, and calparin. It acts as an inhibitor of the Ca2+-dependent protease, calpain. Prevents collagen- and thrombin-induced platelet aggregation, probably by blocking calpain induced phospholipase C and thromboxane synthase activation. Potent cathepsin L inhibitor. It is shown to preferentially inhibit a subset of protein-tyrosine phosphatases.
General DescriptionCalpeptin (Z-Leu-nLeu-H) is a cell permeable, peptide aldehyde inhibitor. It is more sensitive to calpain I compared to other inhibitors, such as Z-Leu-Met-H and leupeptin. Calpeptin stimulates neurite elongation in differentiating pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells. Calpeptin decreases microgliosis, astrogliosis, axonal damage and neuron and oligodendrocyte death in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) spinal cord. Therefore, it can be considered as a potent therapeutic for treating EAE and multiple sclerosis (MS).
