Biochem/physiol Actions

Potent inhibitor of serine proteases such as trypsin and chymotrypsin, and of acetylcholinesterase; also inhibits cathepsin G, cholinesterase, coagulation factor Xa, leucocyte elastase, pancreatic elastase, tissue kallikrein, plasmin, subtilisin, and thrombin. Inhibition of acetylcholinesterase makes this compound especially toxic. Inhibits apoptosis induced by ricin and bacterial toxins.

Analysis Note

Typically used at a concentration of 0.10 mM. A safer alternative inhibitor for serine protease is phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF).

Other Notes

Potent inhibitor of chymotrypsin and other enzymes (e.g. serine hydrolases); Inhibition of carboxypeptidase but not DAP I

Organophosphorus-ester induced delayed neurotoxicity (OPIDN) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by ataxia progressing to paralysis with a concomitant central and peripheral, distal axonapathy. Diisopropylphosphorofluoridate (DFP) produces OPIDN in the chicken that results in mild ataxia in 7-14 days and severe
