Abstract
New cysteine protease inhibitors, named cathestatin A and B, have been discovered as metabolites of Penicillium citrinum. Cathestatins were found to be decarbamidoyl analogs of estatins and showed a specific in hibition for cysteine proteases, Cathestatins suppressed parathyroid h ormone (PTH)-stimulated Ca-45 release in organ cultures of chick embry onic calvaria.
