描述 |
Aprotinin is an inhibitor of serine protease which can inhibit trypsin and chymotrypsin with Ki values of 0.06 pM and 9 nM[3]. Aprotinin is also a competitive protein inhibitor of NOS activity. It inhibits NOS-I and NOS-II with Ki values of 50 μM and 78 μM, respectively[4]. Aprotinin significantly inhibits fibrinolysis with an IC50 of 0.16±0.05 μM[5]. In liver transplantation, the use of aprotinin is associated with a significant reduction in blood loss and transfusion requirements of around 30-40%[6]. Aprotinin significantly inhibited the growth of human breast cancer cell lines MDA-MB-231, SK-BR-3 and MCF-7, and normal fibroblast cell line HDF-1. Inhibition of local invasion by aprotinin was significant only in the case of MDA-MB-231[7]. Aprotinin can reduce degradation of fibrin sutures without significant effects on MSC (human mesenchymal stem cell) function[8]. |
