T. Kocha et al., SUPPRESSION OF SPLENIC ENZYME-ACTIVITIES BY ADMINISTRATION OF AMINOPEPTIDASE-N (CD13) INHIBITORS - RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ACTIONS IN-VIVO ANDIN-VITRO, Journal of enzyme inhibition, 8(3), 1994, pp. 187-195
The enzymatic changes in murine spleen caused by the administration fo
r 20 successive days of various inhibitors of aminopeptidase N (leucoc
yte antigen CD13) have been compared. When compared with the control (
saline), most of the inhibitors significantly suppressed splenic enzym
e activities including those of ectoenzymes. A multivariate study indi
cated that the in vivo effects of the inhibitors were closely related
to their inhibitory actions in vitro.
