General description

Chemical structure: peptide

Application

Actinonin has been used as a control to inhibit meprin-β activity in C57BL/6 mice. It has also been used to study the high-affinity interaction of EcPDF with actinonin by 15N NMR spectroscopy and isothermal titration.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Actinonin has inhibitory action against peptide deformylase (PDF). It is effective against Gram-positive and fastidious Gram-negative microorganisms.
Actinonin is an inhibitor of leucine aminopeptidase. Actinonin has also been used to improve antibacterial activity and antiobesity therapeutics.
