Description

General description

A cell-permeable N-acetylated, C-hydroxamate derivative of a 14-mer peptide designed from the MEK-2 template that acts as a competitive inhibitor of Anthrax lethal factor (LF) metalloprotease (K_i = 1 nM). Also inhibits MEK-3 cleavage. Protects against Anthrax toxin induced cytotoxicity in RAW264.7 and J772.A1 cells.

A cell-permeable derivative of a 14-mer peptide that is based on the MEK-2 template and acts as a competitive inhibitor of Anthrax lethal factor metalloprotease (K_i = 1 nM). Also inhibits MEK-3 cleavage. Exhibits protective effects against Anthrax toxin-induced cytotoxicity in RAW264.7 and J772.A1 cells. Reported to competitively inhibit furin (K_i = 49 nM.
