Biological Activity

Description E-64 is an irreversible and selective cysteine protease inhibitor, and also inhibits papain, calpain, and cathepsins B and H, but not serine proteases or aspartic proteases. The IC50 for papain is 9 nM. E-64 induces oxidative stress and apoptosis in Filarial Parasite.
Targets
Cysteine protease [1]
(Cell-free assay)
9 nM
In vitro

E-64 rapidly inhibits the activities of the cysteine proteinases cathepsins B, H and L and papain, while has no effect on the serine proteinases or the metalloproteinases. [2]

E-64, as a specific inhibitor os cysteine proteases, effectively blocks in vitro ovarian cancer cell invasion. [3]

In addition, E-64 also shows antiparasitic activity against Giardia lamblia excystation in vitro. [4]

E-64 improves the preimplantation development of bovine somatic cell nuclear transfer embryos, which indicates another important implication of E-64. [5]
In vivo

E-64 induces a marked decrease in the number of spontaneous metastasis in M5076 tumor bearing mice, while has no effect on the formation of experimental metastasis. [6]

E-64 also shows antiparasitic activity against Giardia lamblia excystation in infected mice. [4]
