Calpain inhibitor

Functions

A potent and selective cell permeable calpain inhibitor. Inhibits oxidative damage-induced apoptosis in PC12 cells and capsaicin-induced apoptosis in dorsal root ganglion neurons. It penetrates the blood-brain barrier and inhibits brain cysteine protease activity after systemic administration, ameliorating brain damage in a gerbil model of global ischemia. Displays neuroprotective effects in neurotrama rodent models. Calpain I Ki = 8 nM; Cathepsin B Ki = 24 nM in isolated enzyme assays. IC50 = 0.3 µM in intact cell assay.

Application Procedures

First dissolved in DMSO (up to 75 mg/ml), then diluted to aqueous buffer. Solutions in DMSO may be stored at -20°C for up to 1 month.

Research use only.
