KALLISTOP®, Kallikrein inhibitor

Description
KALLISTOP™ a 4-amidinoanilide derivative of phenyl-2-aminobutyric acid is a relatively selective inhibitor of plasma kallikrein (PK). The inhibitory effect depends on the pH-value. It is increased below pH 7.0 and is decreased above pH 8.0.

Chemistry
Structural formula:
 
Formula: C₂₄H₂₆N₄0₃S • HCI
MW: 487.0
Chemical name: 2-Tosyl-(D,L)-homophenyl-alanine-4-amidinoanlde hydrochloride
Purity: 99.9 % as determined by HPLC
Solubility: readily soluble in organic solvents (methanol, ethanol, DMSO), soluble in H₂0 and in aqueous buffers up to 4 mM.

Known Applications
KALLISTOP™ is employed to inhibit plasma kallikrein (PK) competitively.
KALLISTOP™ has been used in chromogenic assays for the determination of factor Xlla activity in plasma with a chromogenic substrate for Factor XIIa (H-D-HHT-Gly-Arg-pNA). KALLISTOP™ suppresses undesired cleavage of the substrate by plasma kallikrein. ^[2]
