Description
Analysis Note Leupeptin gives multiple peaks on HPLC due to equilibria among three forms in solution. Purity determined using three main peaks. Majority of contaminating peptide is racemized leupeptin.
Biochem/physiol Actions Inhibitor of serine and cysteine proteases. Inhibits plasmin, trypsin, papain and cathepsin B. No inhibition found with pepsin, cathepsins A and D, thrombin, or α-chymotrypsin. Effective concentration 10-100 μM.
