Biochem/physiol Actions
TAPI-0 is a metalloproteinase inhibitor with selectivity for TACE (TNF-α converting enzyme/ADAM17; IC₅₀ = 100 nM). TAPI-0 also inhibits of collagenase and gelatinase. Although not specific for TACE, TAPI-0 is extensively used to block TACE-mediated TNF-α shedding.
TAPI-0 is a metalloproteinase inhibitor with selectivity for TACE; also inhibits collagenase and gelatinase.
TAPI-0 inhibit peptide deformylase (PDF) activity and retard the growth Chlamydia trachomatis, which is an obligate intracellular bacterium responsible for a number of human diseases.
