MedKoo Cat#: 598080 | Name: Antipain free base

Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Antipain is a reversible, cell-permeable oligopeptide protease inhibitor primarily targeting serine and cysteine proteases, including trypsin, papain, and cathepsins A, B, and L. It exhibits IC₅₀ values in the low micromolar to nanomolar range—approximately 2 µM for trypsin and as low as 100 nM for cathepsin B. Antipain also inhibits the proteasome’s chymotrypsin-like activity, though with moderate potency. It has been shown to protect cells from apoptosis in certain contexts by preventing proteolytic degradation of key intracellular substrates. Due to its specificity and low toxicity in vitro, antipain is widely used in biochemical studies to dissect protease function and in assays requiring preservation of native protein integrity.
