Bioactivity | Carbobenzoxyproline (L-Cbz-Proline) is an inhibitor of prolidase. Carbobenzoxyproline can be used for prolidase deficiency (PD) research[1]. | ||||||||||||
Invitro | Carbobenzoxyproline (6 mM; 0-10 d; pH=6.0) causes mitochondrial depolarization and increases cellular death by 33% as reported for long-term culture of fibroblasts from prolidase deficiency (PD) patients[1].Carbobenzoxyproline (0, 1, 3, 6 mM; 1 min; pH=6.0) results fibroblasts prolidase (FBP) hydrolysis, shows linear competitive inhibition[1]. | ||||||||||||
In Vivo | Carbobenzoxyproline (60 mg/kg; injection; once daily; 3 weeks) serves as in vivo inhibitor of erythrocytes prolidase in mice model[1]. Animal Model: | ||||||||||||
