Furin convertase inhibitor (chloromethylketone) Replaces Prod. #: BML-PI132 Highly specific, potent, irreversible, and cell-permeable competitive inhibitor of proprotein convertases: furin/SPC1 (Ki~1nM), SPC2/PC2 (Ki=0.36nM), SPC3/PC1/PC3(Ki=2.0nM), SPC4/PACE4 (Ki=3.6nM), SPC6/PC5/PC6, and SPC7/LPC/PC7/PC8 (Ki=0.12nM). Because furin activates viral glycoproteins, this inhibitor is a useful antiviral agent. In addition, it inhibits furin-dependent pro-MMP-2 activation in various cell lines, including U87 and HT1080 cells. Typical concentration range used in tissue culture is 25-100µM.
