General description
A cell-permeable tripeptide derivative containing an Arg-X-Arg motive that acts as a highly potent and reversible furin inhibitor (Ki = 16 pM). Also shown to inhibit several other pro-protein convertases, such as PC1/3, PC4, PAEC4, PC5/6 with almost similar potency, but does not affect PC2, PC7, and trypsin-like serine proteases in any significant manner. Acts as a very weak inhibitor of plasmin (Ki = 7.3 µM). Exhibits greater stability in cells. Shown to block hemagglutinin cleavage (40% at 1 µM) and fowl plague virus (FPV) viral propagation in a dose-dependent manner. Exhibits minimal toxicity even at high concentrations (25-50 µM) and protects human epidermoid carcinoma (HEp-2) cells from toxic effects of Shiga toxin.
