Use | FK-448 Free base is a potent, specific chymotrypsin inhibitor with an IC50 value of 720 nM. |
In vitro study | FK-448 Free base is an effective and specific inhibitor of chymotrypsin, with an IC 50 of 720 nM. FK-448 Free base slightly inhibits esterolysis of Trypsin and Thrombin, with IC 50 s of 780 and 35 μM, respectively, but shows no effects on esterolysis of plasmin, plasma kallikrein or pancreas kallikrein, with IC 50 s of all >1 mM. FK-448 moderately inhibits hydrolytic activities of cathepsin G with an IC 50 of 15 μM. |
In vivo study | FK-448 (20 mg/kg, i.p.) results in a decrease in the blood glucose level, and inhibits the degradation of insulin by pancreatic enzymes in rats. FK-448 (20 mg/kg, p.o.) also decreases the blood glucose level, and increases plasma IRI level in dogs. |
