生物活性

Pepstatin A is a pentapeptide. It was originally isolated from the microbe. As a most potent renin inhibitor, pepstatinA inhibited porcine renin and human renin at weak acid pH value with IC50 values of 0.32 and 15 μM, respectively. The disadvantage is that, pepstatin Ais hydrophobic. To couple the charged hydrophilic residues to the C-terminal of pepstatinA can increase its solubility. Besides the renin, pepstatin A was also reported to have inhibitory effects on HIV protease and subsequently suppressed the virus replication. In cultured H9 cells, pepstatinA treatment blocked the proteolytic processing of the virus gag precursor and inhibited the production of infectious HIV. Moreover, pepstatin A was found to inhibit osteoclast differentiation due to its inhibitory efficacy of cathepsin D and E.

例如，已知某工具药用于小鼠的剂量为88 mg/kg , 则用于大鼠的剂量换算方法：将88 mg/kg 乘以小鼠的Km系数（3），再除以大鼠的Km系数（6），得到该药物用于大鼠的等效剂量44 mg/kg。
