| Bioactivity | Antipain is a protease inhibitor isolated from Actinomycetes. Antipain inhibits N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG)-induced transformation and increases chromosomal aberrations. Antipain restricts uterine DNA synthesis and function in mice[1][2][3][4]. |
| In Vivo | The intact, cycling female mice received subcutaneous injections of Antipain (3 mg) for 16 days, their uteri shows significant diminution in weight and total DNA when compared to untreated controls[4].Antipain (100 μg/g body wt; i.p.; at 12h intervals from 0 to 120 h or 240 to 360 h) shows inhibitory effect on Urethane-induced lung neoplasia in mice[5]. |
