시벨레스타트

용도Sivelestat is an inhibitor of neutrophil elastase that prevents neutrophil extracellular trap formation and rescues mice from endotoxic shock. The inhibition of neutropil elastase by Sivelestat is a promising therapeutic strategy to inhibit glial scar and promote functional recovery by upregulating angiopoietin-1 after spinal cord injury.

일반 설명A cell-permeable, potent, substrate-competitive, and highly specific inhibitor of neutrophil elastase (IC50 = 19-49 nM using rat, rabbit, hamster, human, and mouse leukocyte elastase). Displays about 100-fold greater selectivity over pancreatic elastase (IC50 = 5.6 μM) and is inactive against trypsin, thrombin, plasmin, kallikrein, chymotrypsin, and cathepsin G even at concentrations as high as 100 μM. Effectively suppresses human neutrophil elastase-induced lung hemorrhage and skin capillary permeability in vivo. Also reported to inhibit mast cell Stat6-protease.
