Bestatin (Aminopeptidase Inhibitor)
$32.00 - $106.00
Bestatin is a competitive inhibitor of aminopeptidase B, with a specific activity on K562 cells and an IC50 of 100mg/ml. In vitro studies demonstrate that Bestatin effectively inhibits the proliferation of various human leukemia cell lines, induces DNA fragmentation, and enhances caspase-3 activity. It also hinders the invasion of SN12M cells into basement membranes and impedes the degradation of type IV collagen by tumor cells. Moreover, Bestatin inhibits tube formation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells and exerts a direct stimulatory effect on lymphocytes through leucine aminopeptidase. In vivo, Bestatin demonstrates significant inhibition of angiogenesis induced by melanoma cells, reduces the number of primary tumor blood vessels, and inhibits the biosynthesis of leukotriene B4 in esophageal tissues, ultimately lowering the incidence of EAC.

Biology Information
- Product Description: Bestatin is a competitive inhibitor of aminopeptidase B, acting on K562 cells with an IC50 of 100mg/ml.
- Signaling Pathway: Proteases
- Target: Aminopeptidase
- IC50: -
- In Vitro Studies: Bestatin inhibits the proliferation of all human leukemia cell lines except KG1. In U937 cells, Bestatin induces DNA fragmentation and DNA ladder formation, as well as enhances caspase-3 activity. Bestatin dose-dependently induces DNA fragmentation in human leukemia cell lines. It inhibits the invasion of SN12M cells into reconstituted basement membrane (matrigel) in a concentration-dependent manner. Bestatin concentration-dependently inhibits the degradation of type IV collagen by tumor cells but not through tumor-conditioned medium (TCM). In SN12M cells, Bestatin inhibits substrate hydrolysis activity towards aminopeptidases. Bestatin inhibits tube formation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Bestatin exerts a direct stimulatory effect on lymphocytes (and monocytes) through leucine aminopeptidase anchored on the cell surface and an indirect effect on monocytes (lymphocytes) by inhibiting the breakdown metabolism of phagocytosis-promoting hormones by aminopeptidase B.
- In Vivo Studies: Bestatin significantly inhibits angiogenesis induced by melanoma cells as measured by mouse dorsal air sac assay. In the lateral side of the back of mice implanted with B16-BL6 melanoma cells, Bestatin reduces the number of established primary tumor blood vessels. In esophageal tissues of EGDA rats, Bestatin statistically significantly inhibits the biosynthesis of leukotriene B4. In EGDA rats, Bestatin reduces the incidence of EAC from 57.7% to 26.1%.
