E-64 is an inhibitor of calpain and other cysteine proteases such as cathepsin B, cathepsin L, cathepsin H. The low toxic effects of the inhibitor, in addition to its effective mechanism of action, makes E-64 a potential template for drugs to treat diseases where high levels of a cysteine proteases are the primary cause. It was discovered, that this drug slowed the rate of formation of cataract in cultured rat lenses, but this study was discontinued.

Sample Use Guides

in rats teratogenic effects: Wistar rats were injected with 10-30 mg/kg of E-64 intra-peritoneally on days 9 and 10 of gestation
Route of Administration: Intraperitoneal
In Vitro Use Guide
Curator's Comment: The rapeutic effect of E-64, a broad spectrum cystine protease inhibitor against Giardia lamblia excystation was studied in vitro and in vivo. Giardia lamblia cysts incubated with E 64 in vitro completely failed in excystation in 90% while trophozoites released on 10% (partially excysted on 5% and completely excysted on 5%) compared to 90 % completely excysted on other non incubated (without E-64) of cysts beside, the trophozoites didn't release on 10% (partially excysted on 5% & completely non-excysted on 5%).
