PHOSPHORAMIDON DISODIUM SALT >=97% (HPLC) (C005B-397215)

General description

Phosphoramidon [N-(α-rhamnopyranosyl-oxyhydroxyphosphinyl)-Leu-Trp] is a competitive inhibitor of several soluble zinc metalloproteases. Phosphoramidate is produced naturally by Streptomyces tanashiensis.

Application

Phosphoramidon disodium salt has been used:

• as the neprilysin (NEP) inhibitor: in amyloid beta (Aβ) uptake and degradation
• to study its effect on keratinase activity
• to treat primary microglia from wild-type mice

Identification of phosphoramidon as a metallo-endopeptidase inhibitor was used to characterize endothelin converting enzyme as a metallo-endopeptidase. Phosphoramidon increases the production of β-amyloid protein, but not amyloid precursor protein, indicating that abnormal amyloid processing in Alzheimer′s disease may be carried out by a metallo-endopeptidase.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Phosphoramidon can inhibit ZMPSTE24, an integral membrane protein zinc metalloprotease. It is capable of blocking thermolysin.

Phosphoramidon is a potent inhibitor of thermolysin and other metallo-endopeptidases. It trongly inhibits mammalian enkephalinase and it does not inhibit trypsin, papain, chymotrypsin or pepsin. It weakly inhibits collagenase.
