MedKoo Cat#: 463222 | Name: EP-459

Description:

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

EP-459 (E 64a) is a thiol and calpain protease inhibitor. Ep-459 is an E-64 analogue. EP-459 acts selectively on lysosomal protein degradation. Treatment with Ep459 significantly reduced protein degradation and total activity of cathepsins B and L in the infarcted tissue, compared with the findings in the untreated group. The electrophoretic pattern of the infarcted myocardium was similar to that of myofibrillar proteins degraded by cathepsins B and L.
