Diethyl pyrocarbonate is a potent, orally active, non-specific chemical inhibitor of RNase. Diethyl pyrocarbonate has been useful in vitro as an agent relatively specific for binding to imidazole of histidine. Diethyl pyrocarbonate inhibits central chemosensitivity in rabbits. Diethyl pyrocarbonate can modify Ser, Thr, His and Tyr residues. Diethyl pyrocarbonate can be used for modeling.

Description

Diethyl pyrocarbonate is a potent, orally active, non-specific chemical inhibitor of RNase. Diethyl pyrocarbonate has been useful in vitro as an agent relatively specific for binding to imidazole of histidine. Diethyl pyrocarbonate inhibits central chemosensitivity in rabbits. Diethyl pyrocarbonate can modify Ser, Thr, His and Tyr residues. Diethyl pyrocarbonate can be used for modeling[1].

In Vivo

Diethyl pyrocarbonate (220 mg/kg, i.g., twice a week for 4 weeks) combined with ammonia (42 mg/kg) induces lung tumours in HSL, HSS, Kid: CFLP and Lati: CFLP mice[2].

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.
