N-(4-Fluorophenylsulfonyl)-L-valyl-L-leucinal SJA6017 White lyophilized solid. PROTECT FROM LIGHT. PACKAGED UNDER INERT GAS. A potent, cell-permeable, reversible inhibitor of calpain (IC50 = 7.5 nM for µ-calpain and 78 nM for m-calpain). Also potently inhibits cathepsin B (IC50 = 15 nM) and L (IC50 = 1.6 nM). Reduces bFGF-induced angiogenesis in rat cornea and prevents selenite cataract formation. Reduces A23187-induced nuclear opacity and proteolysis of crystallins and a-spectrin in cultured lenses.
