Description

General description

This product has been discontinued.

A cell-permeable derivative of Bestatin (Cat. No. 200484) that displays slightly stronger inhibition of neutral aminopeptidase than Bestatin but has much weaker activity against basic aminopeptidase. Also augments Fas- or TNF-α-induced apoptosis in solid tumor cell lines.

A cell-permeable derivative of Bestatin (Cat. No. 200484) that displays stronger inhibition of neutral aminopeptidase than Bestatin (IC₅₀ = 31.6 nM). Exhibits weaker activity against basic aminopeptidase (IC₅₀ = 400.1 nM). Also reported to augment Fas- (IC₅₀ = 235.4 nM) or TNF-α-induced apoptosis in solid tumor cell lines.
