Description

Hexa-D-arginine (Furin Inhibitor II) is a stable furin inhibitor with Ki values 106 nM, 580 nM and 13.2 μM for furin, PACE4 and prohormone convertase-1 (PC1), respectively. Hexa-D-arginine blocks Pseudomonas exotoxin A and anthrax toxins toxicity in vitro and in vivo[1][2][3].

IC50 & Target

Ki: 106 nM (Furin), 580 nM (PACE4) and 13.2 μM (PC1)[3]

In Vitro

Hexa-D-arginine effectively blocks Pseudomonas aeruginosa exotoxin A (PEA)-induced cell lysis and is itself noncytotoxic[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

Administration of Hexa-D-arginine (0.1, 1, or 10 nM) to Pseudomonas aeruginosa exotoxin A (PEA)-treated mice (6-week-old FVB and 129/Sv mice) significantly improves their survival rate and also decreases circulating levels of TNF-α[1].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
