C20H30N2O4
Molecular Weight 362.46 CAS No. 117591-20-5
Solubility (25°C)* In vitro DMSO 72 mg/mL (198.64 mM)
Ethanol 72 mg/mL (198.64 mM)
Water Insoluble
In vivo (Add solvents to the product individually and in order)
Clear solution
5%DMSO 40%PEG300 5%Tween80 50%ddH2O
3.6mg/ml Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL of 72 mg/ml clarified DMSO stock solution to 400 μL of PEG300, mix evenly to clarify it; add 50 μL of Tween80 to the above system, mix evenly to clarify; then continue to add 500 μL of ddH2O to adjust the volume to 1 mL. The mixed solution should be used immediately for optimal results. 
Clear solution
5% DMSO 95% Corn oil
0.6mg/ml Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL of 12 mg/ml clear DMSO stock solution to 950 μL of corn oil and mix evenly. The mixed solution should be used immediately for optimal results. 
* <1 mg/ml means slightly soluble or insoluble.
* Please note that Selleck tests the solubility of all compounds in-house, and the actual solubility may differ slightly from published values. This is normal and is due to slight batch-to-batch variations.
* Room temperature shipping (Stability testing shows this product can be shipped without any cooling measures.)

Biological Activity

Description Calpeptin is a potent, cell-permeable calpain inhibitor with ID50 of 52 nM, 34 nM, 138 nM, and 40 nM for Calpain I (porcine erythrocytes), Calpain II (porcine kidney), Papainb, and Calpain I (human platelets), respectively. Calpeptin attenuates apoptosis and intracellular inflammatory changes in muscle cells.
Targets
Calpain II (porcine kidney) [1] Calpain I (human platelets) [1] Calpain I (porcine erythrocytes) [1] Papainb [1]
34 nM(ID50) 40 nM(ID50) 52 nM(ID50) 138 nM(ID50)
In vitro Calpeptin inhibits 20K phosphorylation in a dose-related manner in platelets stimulated by thrombin, ionomycin or collagen. [1] In differentiating PC12 cells, Calpeptin promotes neurite elongation via inhibition of Calpain activity. [2] In rat retinal ganglion cells, Calpeptin attenuates apoptosis, maintains normal whole-cell membrane potential, and thus provides functional neuroprotection. [3]
In vivo In a feline right ventricular (RV) PO (RVPO) model, calpeptin (0.6 mg/kg, i.v.) blocks the activation of calpain and caspase-3, cleavage of their substrates, and cardiomyocyte programmed cell death. [4] In a rat focal cerebral ischemia–reperfusion injury model, Calpeptin reduces the neuronal apoptosis in hippocampal CA1 sector via inhibition of the expression of Caspase-3. [5]
