Description

Application

Camostat mesylate has been used to determine the effect of transmembrane protease, serine (TMPRSS) family proteases on cell-cell fusion.[1]

Camostat mesylate may be used in cell signaling studies.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Camostat is a serine protease inhibitor, airway epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) attenuator.

Camostat is a synthetic, orally bioavailble serine protease inhibitor and airway epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) attenuator.

Camostat mesylate (CM) is used to treat pancreatitis and reflux esophagitis after gastrectomy.[2]

Camostat mesylate inhibits the production of TNF-α and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) by monocytes. It also inhibits the activity of pancreatic stellate cells. Camostat mesylate regulates the cytokine expression and inflammation and is effective in the treatment of dibutyltin dichloride-induced rat pancreatic fibrosis.[2]
