Biological Activity

Description Aprotinin is a small protein serine protease inhibitor (Kd=0.06 pM for bovine β-trypsin), used to reduce perioperative blood loss and transfusion.

(Cell-free assay)		 Trypsin [1]
(Cell-free assay)		 kallikrein [1]
(Cell-free assay)		 chymotrypsin [1]
(Cell-free assay)		 trypsinogen [1]
(Cell-free assay)
0.06 pM(Kd) 0.8 nM(Kd) 9.5 nM(Kd) 2 μM(Kd)
In vitro Aprotinin is an antifibrinolytic molecule that inhibits trypsin and related proteolytic enzymes. In cell biology, aprotinin is used as an enzyme inhibitor to prevent protein degradation during lysis or homogenization of cells and tissues. In the presence of aprotinin, the fibrinolytic activity is inhibited concentration dependently and the coagulation time is prolonged. Aprotinin is an effective inhibitor of the contact (intrinsic) coagulation pathway in vitro[2].
In vivo Aprotinin inhibits clot lysis in vitro as well as rat-tail bleeding time in vivo and prolongs coagulation time in human plasma. In a rat arteriovenous shunt model, aprotinin reduces thrombus weight [2].

Protocol (from reference)

Cell Assay:

[3]
  • Cell lines

    mouse G8-1 and C2C12 skeletal muscle myoblasts

  • Concentrations

    2 TIU/ml

  • Incubation Time

    12hrs

  • Method

    Mouse G8-1 myoblasts are plated DMEM + 20% FBS (maintenance medium), in which they remain undifferentiated. When cells reach approximately 40-50% confluence, different protease inhibitors are added to the culture media and cells are incubated overnight. Cells are then switched to differentiation-promoting media (DMEM + 10% horse serum ± protease inhibitor) and incubated for 7 days.
Animal Study:

[2]
  • Animal Models

    Male Wistar rats

  • Dosages

    1.5 mg/kg and 3 mg/kg/h, 3 mg/kg and 6 mg/kg/h up to 5 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg/h

  • Administration

    bolus injection followed by a maintenance infusion(i.p.)
