Pepstatin is a pentapeptide of microbial origin. The peptide inhibits the acid proteases pepsin and cathepsin D and the pressor enzyme renin. Pepstatin was shown to provide long-lasting inhibition (3 to 6 days) of cathepsin D in vivo in non-tumor bearers particularly in spleen, liver, kidney, lung, and heart. Pepstatin may prove useful as "anticachexia" agent by decreasing proteolysis in muscle and other tissues. The in vivo pepstatin and IL-2 treatment decreased the T-cells and increased the natural killer-like LAK precursor cells, possibly also with an increase in its activity, which were further induced by in vitro IL-2 culture to generate an augmented LAK cell activity. This suggests the clinical potential of pepstatin in IL-2-related immunotherapy. In rats injected centrally with the specific cathepsin D inhibitor, pepstatin, the protease activity was inhibited up to 90% in most brain regions.

In Vitro Use Guide
Pepstatin A was added to the culture medium at a final concentration of 10-4 M in 0.2% DMSO. Pepstatin A had no effects on growing HeLa cells that were not treated with IFN-gamma. Addition of pepstatin A to the IFN-gamma-treated DHFR-transfected cells inhibited, to some extent, the killing process, as reflected by the elevated values of neutral red dye uptake.
