Inhibitor for Trypsin, Plasmin, Papain, and Cathepsin B

Leupeptin, is a microbial product, isolated and carefully purified as hemisulfate.
Leupeptin is a competitive transition state inhibitor and is mainly used as inhibitor for serine proteinases like trypsin, plasmin and kallikrein. It inhibits cysteine proteinases like papain and cathepsin B. Leupeptin does not inhibit thrombin or α-chymotypsin.
The tripeptide aldehyde is highly soluble in commonly used buffers containing Water, Ethanol, or DMF. Leupeptin will be used very often in combination with Pepstatin A in protease inhibitor cocktails like “Mito Buffer” or “TNC Buffer”.
The purity of the tripeptide aldehyde Leupeptin cannot be determined by HPLC or TLC due to three tautomeric isomers, which will be separately detected.
