Leupeptin Ac-LL
Leupeptin Ac-LL is a broad-spectrum protease inhibitor. Leupeptin Ac-LL inhibits serine, cysteine and threonine proteases, and regulates autophagy. Leupeptin Ac-LL reduces the expression levels of LC3B, iNOS, Cox-2, Beclin-1 and the level of endopeptidases; increases the levels of p62, Arg 1, Msr 1 and Mrc−1; and blocks the upregulation of p-PTEN, p-NF-κB, p-PI3K, p-Akt, p-p38 and ERK1/2. Leupeptin Ac-LL inhibits NO, ROS, proinflammatory cytokines, the IFN-γ/IL-10 ratio, phagolysosome fusion, mammalian lysosomal hydrolase activity and SARS-CoV-2 replication; and reverses impaired autophagic flux. Leupeptin Ac-LL is applicable to research related to chronic inflammatory diseases, edema, skin tumorigenesis, COVID-19 and respiratory infections.

Leupeptin (5.3 mM; 5 min at 70 °C for oxidation; 0.53 μM; 2 h at 22 °C for reduction; 625 nM for MS analysis) Ac-LL has its molecular weights of natural, oxidized, and reduced forms confirmed by mass spectrometry as 426.3 Da, 442.3 Da, and 428.3 Da, respectively[8].
Leupeptin (0.14-1.62 μM for natural form; 8-127 μM for oxidized form; 10-413 μM for reduced form) Ac-LL potently inhibits porcine pancreas trypsin with a Ki of 88 nM in its natural form, while its oxidized (Ki = 2.7 μM) and reduced (Ki = 270 μM) forms exhibit significantly weaker trypsin inhibition[8].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Leupeptin (40 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose; sacrificed 3 h post-injection) Ac-LL detects a 45% increase in macroautophagic flux in calorie-starved mouse liver and significant suppression of flux in refed mouse liver, with a 3-hour flux value of 53.94 ng/mg total protein in starved mice[4].
Leupeptin (40 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose; sacrificed 60 min or 180 min post-injection) Ac-LL detects a significant reduction in p62 flux (but not statistically significant reduction in LC3b-II flux) in beclin 1+/- mouse liver compared to wild-type littermates, with an 180-minute p62 flux value of 18 ng/mg total protein in heterozygous mice[4].

Animal Model:C57BL/6NCrl (male, 6-8 weeks old, 20-25 g)[4]
-
Dosage:9 mg/kg; 18 mg/kg; 20 mg/kg; 36 mg/kg; 40 mg/kg
-
Administration:i.p.; single dose; sacrificed 1 h, 4 h, 60 min, 90 min, 120 min, 180 min, or 240 min post-injection; administered 60 min prior to cycloheximide injection, sacrificed 60 min post-cycloheximide injection
-
Result:Produced a dose-dependent increase in LC3b-II levels in mouse liver total extracts and lysosome-enriched (LE) fractions, with the 36 mg/kg dose inducing the strongest signal.
Led to time-dependent LC3b-II accumulation across multiple organs, with liver reaching 69.1 ng/mg total protein in LE fractions at 60 min, a flux of 42.1 ng/mg total protein, and spleen reaching 37.1 ng/mg total protein in LE fractions at 60 min, a flux of 11.0 ng/mg total protein.
Increased LC3a-II and p62 levels in liver LE fractions, but did not increase levels of GABARAP or GATE-16.
Induced a 6.88-fold increase in cross-sectional area of late autophagosome/lysosomal compartments in hepatocytes, with this increase correlating with LC3b-II levels in LE fractions.
Increased LC3b-II and LC3a-II content in dense, lysosome-enriched fractions of lung homogenates.
Stabilized LC3b-II and LC3a-II levels in liver LE fractions (but not cytosolic fractions) following cycloheximide-induced translational inhibition.

Result:Induced an LC3b-II flux of 37.21 ng/mg total protein at 3 h post-injection in ad libitum-fed mice.
Induced an LC3b-II flux of 53.94 ng/mg total protein at 3 h post-injection in calorie-starved mice, representing a 45% increase compared to ad libitum-fed mice (p = 0.04).
Induced an LC3b-II flux of only 3.00 ng/mg total protein at 3 h post-injection in refed mice, significantly suppressed compared to ad libitum-fed mice (p < 0.001).

Result:Showed an LC3b-II flux of ~25 ng/mg total protein in beclin 1+/- mice at 60 min post-injection, compared to ~38 ng/mg total protein in beclin 1+/+ mice (no statistical significance reported).
Showed an LC3b-II flux of ~56 ng/mg total protein in beclin 1+/- mice at 180 min post-injection, compared to ~73 ng/mg total protein in beclin 1+/+ mice (no statistical significance reported).
Showed a p62 flux of ~4 ng/mg total protein in beclin 1+/- mice at 60 min post-injection, compared to ~2 ng/mg total protein in beclin 1+/+ mice.
