QUICK LINKS

Benzamidine and its derivatives serve as inhibitors of serine protease enzymes, namely tryptase, thrombin, and tripsin-like enzymes. The strong affinity of benzamidine for these enzymes has been exploited to crystallize and study spectra of thrombin complexes. Benzamidine inhibits the autoactivation of human blood coagulation factor VII, useful as a tool for studying the interactions between this and other relevant growth factors. A derivative of this compound has shown activity against the growth of colon cancer cells.

Hi Do you know the specificity of this inhibitor. Is it only specific for Beta tryptase or inhibits both alpha and beta? do you know any inhibitor that only inhibit B-tryptase

Asked by: Jiakai Wu
Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, we can not say whether this compound, Benzamidine Hydrochloride, Anhydrous (CAS 1670-14-0), is specific to alpha or beta tryptase. We have not characterized any other compounds that are specific to the inhibition of beta tryptase.
