In vitro study | Hexa-D-arginine effectively blocks Pseudomonas aeruginosa exotoxin A (PEA)-induced cell lysis and is itself noncytotoxic. |
In vivo study | 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. |
biological activity | Hexa-D-arginine TFA (Furin Inhibitor II TFA) is a stable furin inhibitor with Ki values of 106 nM,580 nM and 13.2 μM for furin,PACE4 and PC1 respectively. Hexa-D-arginine TFA can block the toxicity of Pseudomonas exotoxin A and anthrax toxin in vitro and in vivo. |
target | Ki: 106 nM (Furin), 580 nM (PACE4) and 13.2 μM (PC1) |
