Description

Leupeptin hemisulfate is a broad-spectrum, membrane-permeable protease inhibitor. Leupeptin hemisulfate potently inhibits serine, cysteine and threonine proteases. Leupeptin hemisulfate inhibits Mpro (the main protease of SARS-CoV-2) and also has anti-inflammatory activity[1][2][3].

IC50 & Target

Cathepsin B, Cathepsin H, Cathepsin L, Ser/Thr Protease, Mpro[1][2][3].

In Vitro

Leupeptin hemisulfate (0.06-200 µM; 72 h) significantly decreases copy numbers of SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA (vRNA) in Vero cells[1]
Leupeptin hemisulfate inhibits RNA levels of SARS-CoV-2 in Vero cells, with an EC50 value of 42.34 µM[1].
Leupeptin hemisulfate has some inhibitory activity against Mpro, with an IC50 value of 127.2 µM[1].
Leupeptin hemisulfate againsts human coronavirus strain 229E with an IC50 value of 0.4 µg/mL (about 1 µM)[1].

MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

RT-PCR[1]

Cell Line: Vero cells
Concentration: 0.06-200 µM
Incubation Time: 72 h
Result: Significantly decreased copy numbers of SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA (vRNA).
In Vivo

Leupeptin hemisulfate (0, 9, 18, 36 mg/kg; i.p.; single) is well tolerated by the animals and produces a strong, dose-dependent increase in LC3b-II in both the total tissue extracts and the lysosome and autophagosome-enriched pellet fraction[2].

MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: C57BL/6NCrl male mice (6-8 weeks old, 20-25 g)[1]
Dosage: 0, 9, 18, 36 mg/kg
Administration: Intraperitoneal injection; single
Result: Promoted the accumulation of LC3b-II in mouse liver.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
