Chemical Structure
Leupeptin Ac-LL
- CAS No.: 24365-47-7
- Formula:C20H38N6O4
- Molecular Weight:426.55
IUPAC Name: (2S)-2-acetamido-N-((2S)-1-((5-guanidino-1-oxopentan-2-yl)amino)-4-methyl-1-oxopentan-2-yl)-4-methylpentanamide
InChIKey: GDBQQVLCIARPGH-BSOSBYQFSA-N
SMILES: CC(C)C[C@H](NC(C)=O)C(N[C@@H](CC(C)C)C(NC(C=O)CCCNC(N)=N)=O)=O
Biological Activity: Leupeptin Ac-LL is a broad-spectrum protease inhibitor. By inhibiting the activation of the PTEN/PI3K/Akt/NF-κB/ERK1/2/p38 signaling pathway, Leupeptin Ac-LL significantly reduces LPS-induced NO and ROS production, mitochondrial membrane potential hyperpolarization, phagocytic activity, pro-inflammatory cytokine release, and M1 polarization in mouse peritoneal macrophages, and reverses autophagic flux impairment. It also decreases Concanavalin A (HY-P2149)-induced proliferation index of mouse splenic lymphocytes and the Th1/IL-10 and Th2/IL-10 cytokine ratios, thereby modulating innate and adaptive immune responses. Leupeptin Ac-LL inhibits blood coagulation and tumorigenesis in mouse skin. Leupeptin Ac-LL can be used in research on chronic inflammatory diseases and skin tumorigenesis[1][2][3].
