High impact information on Cfp-aaf-pab

N-[1-(R,S)-carboxyl-3-phenylpropyl]-Ala-Ala-Phe-p-aminobenzoate (cFP-AAF-pAB), an active-site-directed inhibitor of metalloendopeptidase-24.15, has been shown to lower blood pressure, increase cardiac output and renal blood flow, and potentiate the intravenous bradykinin-induced vasodepressor response [1].
The degradation of LHRH and the formation of the N-terminal tri- and pentapeptides was blocked by N-[1-(R,S)-carboxy-3-phenylpropyl]-Ala-Ala-Phe-p-aminobenzoate (cFP-AAF-pAB), a specific, active site directed inhibitor of endopeptidase-24.15 [2].
In vivo, when LHRH was injected directly into the third ventricle of rats, the presence of cFP-AAF-pAB inhibited LHRH degradation [2].
Similarly to rabbit brain endooligopeptidase A, the PC12 endooligopeptidase A-like activity was enhanced by DTT, totally inhibited by DTNB and 1-10 Phenanthroline, partially inhibited by cFP-AAF-pAb, and not affected by PMSF [3].
In addition, BooKase was partially inhibited by cFP-AAF-pAB, a specific inhibitor of thimet oligopeptidase [4].
