| Aprotinin Usage And Synthesis |
| Description |
Aprotinin is a reversible inhibitor of serine proteases such as trypsin (Ki = 0.06 pM), chymotrypsin (Ki = 9.5 nM), and kallikrein (Ki = 0.8 nM). It is a much weaker inhibitor of thrombin (Ki = 0.1-0.8 mM) and trypsinogen (Ki = 2 μM). Aprotinin also competitively inhibits nNOS and iNOS with Ki values of 50 and 78 μM, respectively. Aprotinin is widely used as a protein purification tool to prevent proteases present in tissue samples from degrading the protein of interest. |

| Uses |
A potent protease inhibitor.Aprotinin acts as a reversible serine protease blocking and a binding agent. It is widely employed as an inhibitor of trypsin. It is also used as a proteolytic inhibitor in radioimmunoassays of polypeptide hormones. It is involved in the purification of urokinase, trypsin, and chymotrypsin on immobilized aprotinin. Further, it is used in the quantification of kallikrein activity in mixtures of esterases and proteases. |
| Uses |
Aprotinin is largely used as an inhibitor of trypsin. |
| Uses |
Proteolytic inhibitor in radioimmunoassays of polypeptide hormones. |
| Manufacturing Process |
1 kg of parotid of cattle, which were freed of fat and flesh are comminuted in a meat chopper and twice extracted with 5 L of acetone. The acetone was removed as far as possible by sucking off and the moist material is digested for 2.5 hours in 1.2 L of 1 N acetic acid and 2.8 L of 96% ethanol at 50°C. The filtrate containts about 230.000 inactivator units.
The alcoholic solution is concentrated to 1.2 L by evaporating in vacuo and shaken with an equal amount of ether. Dark coloring matters and residues of fat are thus dissolved. The aqueous phase is now mixed with acetone until a precipitate occurs and the dissolved in dilute acetic acid. The solution is brought to a weakly alkaline pH by addition of ammonia. It is then centrifuged and the inactivator is precipitated with five times the amount of ethanol. The yield amounts to about 180.000 kallikrein inactivator units in 0.4-0.5 g of substance. |
| Brand name |
Trasylol (Bayer). |
| Therapeutic Function |
Proteinase inhibitor |
| General Description |
Trypsin inhibitor, pancreas type from bovine lung. It is known as Pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI). Aprotinin, also known as pancreatic trypsin inhibitor and trypsin-kallikrein inhibitor, is found to be expressed in lungs, spleen, liver, and pancreas. It is also found to be present in the free form in calf serum. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions |
Aprotinin is a competitive serine protease inhibitor that forms stable complexes with and blocks the active sites of enzyme. This binding is reversible, and most aprotinin-protease complexes will dissociate at extreme pH levels >10 or <3. Structurally, Aprotinin is a monomeric globular protein derived from bovine lung that consists of 58 amino acids, arranged in a single polypeptide chain with three crosslinking disulfide bridges. |
| Safety Profile |
Experimental reproductive effects. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx and SOx. |

Leader Biochemical Group is a large leader incorporated industry manufacturers and suppliers of advanced refined raw materials From the year of 1996 when our factory was put into production to year of 2020, our group has successively invested in more than 52 factories with shares and subordinates.We focus on manufacture Pharm & chemicals, functional active ingredients, nutritional Ingredients, health care products, cosmetics, pharmaceutical and refined feed, oil, natural plant ingredients industries to provide top quality of GMP standards products.All the invested factories' product lines cover API and intermediates, vitamins, amino acids, plant extracts, daily chemical products, cosmetics raw materials, nutrition and health care products, food additives, feed additives, essential oil products, fine chemical products and agricultural chemical raw materials And flavors and fragrances. Especially in the field of vitamins, amino acids, pharmaceutical raw materials and cosmetic raw materials, we have more than 20 years of production and sales experience. All products meet the requirements of high international export standards and have been recognized by customers all over the world. Our manufacture basement & R&D center located in National Aerospace Economic & Technical Development Zone Xi`an Shaanxi China. Now not only relying on self-cultivation and development as well as maintains good cooperative relations with many famous research institutes and universities in China. Now, we have closely cooperation with Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry of Chinese Academy of Science, Beijing Institute of Material Medical of Chinese Academy of Medical Science, China Pharmaceutical University, Zhejiang University. Closely cooperation with them not only integrating Science and technology resources, but also increasing the R&D speed and improving our R&D power. Offering Powerful Tech supporting Platform for group development. Keep serve the manufacture and the market as the R&D central task, focus on the technical research. Now there are 3 technology R & D platforms including biological extract, microorganism fermentation and chemical synthesis, and can independently research and develop kinds of difficult APIs and pharmaceutical intermediates. With the strong support of China State Institute of Pharmaceutical Industry (hereinafter short for CSIPI), earlier known as Shanghai Institute of Pharmaceutical Industry (SIPI), we have unique advantages in the R & D and industrialization of high-grade, precision and advanced products. Now our Group technical force is abundant, existing staff more that 1000 people, senior professional and technical staff accounted for more than 50% of the total number of employees, including 15 PhD research and development personnel, 5 master′ S degree in technical and management personnel 9 people. We have advanced equipment like fermentation equipment and technology also extraction, isolation, purification, synthesis with rich production experience and strict quality control system, According to the GMP required, quickly transforming the R&D results to industrial production in time, it is our advantages and our products are exported to North and South America, Europe, Middle East, Africa, and other five continents and scale the forefront in the nation, won good international reputation. We believe only good quality can bring good cooperation, quality is our key spirit during our production, we are warmly welcome clients and partner from all over the world contact us for everlasting cooperation, Leader will be your strong, sincere and reliable partner in China.
