PeptaNova - Phebestin Aminopeptidase N Inhibitor

Phebestin is a synthetic inhibitor specifically targeting alanyl-aminopeptidase, also known as aminopeptidase N (APN). It plays a significant role in modulating the proliferation and function of human peripheral T cells. This compound, characterized by its (2S,3R)-3-amino-2-hydroxy-4-phenylbutanoyl-L-valyl-L-phenylalanine structure, is soluble in water, methanol, and DMSO, offering versatile application potentials in different environments. Phebestin can be used in various biochemical assays where selective inhibition of APN is desired, making it integral for research in cellular signaling and immune response. Its specific inhibitory action provides valuable insights into enzymatic processes involving aminopeptidases, positioning Phebestin as an important tool in the study of enzyme functions and potential therapeutic applications.
