Leupeptin (hemisulfate)

Leupeptin hemisulfate is a broad-spectrum, membrane-permeable protease inhibitor. Leupeptin hemisulfate potently inhibits serine, cysteine and threonine proteases. Leupeptin hemisulfate inhibits Mpro (the main protease of SARS-CoV-2) and also has anti-inflammatory activity[1][2][3].
