Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
Chymostatin is a bioactive peptide of microbial origin that acts as a protease inhibitor with selectivity for chymotryptase-like serine proteases. It potently inhibits chymotrypsin and chymase (Ki = 9.36 and 13.1 nM, respectively) while less effectively blocking the activity of cathepsins, papain, and leukocyte elastase. It is without effect on trypsin, thrombin, plasmin, pepsin, and kallikrein. | [Uses]
Inhibitor of serine proteinases having a chymotrypsin-like specificity like α-, β-, δ- and γ-chymotrypsin, chymases, cathepsin G, and most cysteine proteinases including papain and cathepsin A, B, H, and L. Mixture of type A (R=L-Leu), type B (R=L-Val), type C (R=L-Ile). | [General Description]
Chymostatin is a mixture of three components, A, B, and C. The component A being N-[((S)-1-carboxy-2-phenylethyl)-carbamoyl]-α-[2-iminohexahydro-4(S)-pyrimidyl]-L-glycyl-L-leucyl-phenylalaninal. The other two components B and C differ in that the L-leucyl residue is substituted by L-valine and L-isoleucine, respectively. | [Biochem/physiol Actions]
Chymostatin is a strong inhibitor of many proteases, including chymotrypsin, papain, chymotrypsin-like serine proteinases, chymases, and lysosomal cysteine proteinases such as cathepsins A,B,C, B, H, and L. It weakly inhibits human leucocyte elastase. It is effective at a final concentration of 100 to 200 μg/ml (10 to 100 μM). Chymostatin is often included in protease inhibitor cocktails used with plant extracts. | [in vitro]
chymostatin was found to be a potent inhibitor of human leucocyte chymotrypsin-like protease. its affinity to the leucocyte protease was found to be much higher than its affinity to bovine pancreatic alpha-chymotrypsin. chymsotatin also showed a weak inhibitory effect on the activity of human leucocyte elastase. in addition, the preincubation of chymostatin with 35so2-4-labeled cartilage before the addition of the human chymotrypsin-like protease to the tissue could also inhibit 35so2-4 release [1]. | [in vivo]
the effect of chymostatin on c57bl/6j-dy dystrophic mice was studied. the locomotor activity of normal mice markedly increased, attaining a plateau at 8 weeks of age. serum levels of creatine phosphokinase were much higher in dystrophic mice when compared with normal mice, and dystrophic mice also showed a reduced muscle protein content. when 3-week-old dystrophic mice received chymostatin at 1 mg/kg, the decrease in locomotor activity could be retarded, serum enzyme levels significantly decreased, and muscle protein content also obviously increased. in addition, the survival time of chymostatin-treated dystrophic mice was prolonged [2]. | [References]
