Applications

Dipeptidase inhibitor; DPEP1 inhibitor

Functions

Dehydropeptidase-1 inhibitor. Inhibits the proteolytic conversion of leukotriene D4 to E4. Inhibits the mammalian β-lactamase renal dipeptidase (dehydropeptidase-1, DPEP1) and thus is used as an antibacterial adjunct to extend the half-life of β-lactam antibiotics. Cilastatin also inhibits bacterial metallo-β-lactamase and thereby may block resistance to the carbapenem family of antibiotics in certain bacteria. Suppresses invasion and metastasis of DPEP1-expressing tumor cells.

Application Procedures

First dissolved in DMSO (up to 3 mg/ml) or in Water (up to 35 mg/ml), then diluted to aqueous buffer. Solutions in DMSO or distilled water may be stored at -20°C for up to 1 month.

Research use only.
