Calpain Inhibitor XII
C5347

Description:
IC50: μ-calpain, Ki = 19 nM

Calpain Inhibitor XII is a reversible and selective inhibitor of calpain I.

Calpain is a protein belonging to the family of calcium-dependent, non-lysosomal cysteine proteases expressed ubiquitously in mammals and many other organisms. Calpain inhibitors have been used to study the role of calpains in diverse processes, including neutrophil chemotaxis, neuronal signaling, and cardiac response to injury.

In vitro: A series of new dipeptidyl alpha-keto amides of the general structure R1-L-Leu-D,L-AA-CONH-R2 including Calpain Inhibitor XII were synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors for the cysteine proteases calpain I, calpain II, and cathepsin B. Calpain II was more sensitive to these inhibitors

    0.30093 g of panacetin was weighed and mixed well with 50 ml of dichloromethane. After stirring the solution thoroughly, some solid is formed (solid sucrose) and liquid. With using a preweighed filter paper to filter the mixture, and after the sucrose had dried, it was weighed out to 0.7756g. For the aqueous layer, adding 10ml of 6M HCl(pH 2) and filtered using vacuum filtration and after cooled in the ice bath. Leaving behind is the solid aspirin which was weighed out as 1.2469g. Lastly, to measure the weight of the unknown solid component of panacetin, putting the organic layer in a warm water bath to evaporate the solvent and the remain is the solid residue. Extract the unknown solid component of panacetin, which was weighed to be 0.8946g.…

    The Consulting Chemists Institute has been asked to analyze the drug preparation of Aspirin to find out what percentages of aspirin, sucrose, and drug preparation. The purpose of this experiment was to determine the unknown component of panacetin. Panacetin contains aspirin, sucrose, and an unknown component. Dichloromate reacts with Panacetin to produce the sucrose as an insoluble solid. Aspirin is removed from the solution by reacting with sodium bicarbonate. The aqueous layer reacts with hydrochloric acid, the unknown component can then be isolated by evaporating the solvent from the dichloromethane solution.…

    All intracellular organelles have membranes as part of their structure. The breakdown of the membranes of these structures affect the function of the heart because the special calcium ATPases’s had stopped moving calcium from the cytosol, into the edoplasmic reticulum of his cardiac muscle cells. As the intracellular calcium levels rose, they caused proteases to spill into the interior of the cell, attacking the cytoskeleton.…

    Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body, but needs other nutrients in order for it to be absorbed better and use properly. To metabolize calcium the hormones that help in that process are the parathyroid hormone and the modified steroid calcitriol a form of vitamin D, which promote better absorption of the calcium ion into the body’s circulation system and the counter balance protein hormone calcitonin promotes a decrease in circulating calcium. Calcium homeostasis is achieved by three central tissues, the kidney, intestines and bones. The hormonal target for calcium balance in bones is the osteoclast which can mobilize calcium to the body and phalanges by secreting proteolytic enzymes and acid onto the bone matrix in response to stimulation of the parathyroid hormone and…

    Calcatonin is a hormone produced by the thyroid gland that lowers the level of calcium in the blood and promotes the formation of bone. The sole function of the parathyroid glands is to maintain the body’s calcium level within a narrow range, so that nervous and muscular systems can function properly. When blood calcium levels drop below a certain point, calcium sensing receptors in the parathyroid gland are activated to release calcatonin into the blood.…

    Calcium Channel Blockers, in this case verapamil, could be used in a patient that has high blood pressure as well as other concerns such as chest pain, or abnormal heart rhythm. In any case the patient needs to be monitored because verapamil relaxes and widens the blood vessels in the arterial walls causing the blood pressure to drop and in some cases the heart rate to decrease also lowering the blood pressure. Therefore, a patient should be monitored regularly to ensure that the blood pressure does not drop too low. A low blood pressure could cause dizziness, nausea, headaches, fainting, and more seriously could cause damage to the patient’s heart or brain if not enough oxygen is received.…

    Imagine you are walking through the park; it’s a warm day, you are surrounded by beautiful flowers, grass, and trees. Now imagine that these normal, everyday activities such as, walking outside on a humid day, make it more difficult for you to breathe. Instead of taking a normal breath, you are only able to inhale at thirty percent capacity. That is like breathing through the end of a tiny crimped straw. Also, imagine having to carry various inhalers and oxygen as part of an everyday routine. This is how it feels to have Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency, also known as early onset emphysema. For someone with Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency, everyday tasks can seem nearly impossible. Simply walking upstairs or raking leaves…

    Calcium is an extremely important factor for health and longevity. It serves both a structural and physiological role in the entire organism. Bones are constantly breaking down and rebuilding, and calcium is directly involved in this process. Calcium ions (Ca2+) are essential mediators of a wide variety of cellular activities, including the passing of information along neurons and between adjacent neurons. Hormonal regulation is also mediated by the proper functions of calcium and calcium ions in the body.…
