    Descripciòn

    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

    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.
