- Product Overview:
Actinonin is a peptidomimetic antibiotic produced by Actinomyces that inhibits aminopeptidases. It inhibits the following matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs): MMP-1 (Ki = 300 nM), MMP-3 (Ki = 1,700 nM), MMP-8 (Ki = 130 nM), and MMP-9 (Ki = 330 nM).{27523}} Actinonin acts as an herbicide by targeting plastid peptide deformylase, an enzyme required for N-terminal processing of plastid-encoded proteins.{27463} Actinonin has also been identified as an effective inhibitor of human meprin ? (Ki = 20 nM), a zinc endopeptidase that cleaves matrix proteins.{24095} More recently actinonin has been shown to inhibit tumor cell invasion and matrix degradation and to induce apoptosis in animal models by targeting human mitochondrial peptide deformylase.{27522}
Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
