| ln Vitro |
Leupeptin, produced by a variety of actinomycetes, which effectively prevent proteolysis.[1] Tubulin purity is raised when leupeptin hemisulfate shields it from endogenous proteolytic activities during the isolation process.[2] Leupeptin hemisulfate has the potential to restore up to 50% of the expression of the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in cell suspension cultures. [3]

| ln Vivo |
Leupeptin was well accepted by the animals and resulted in a significant dose-dependent rise in LC3b-II in the lysosome enriched fraction (LE fraction) as well as total tissue extracts. Leupeptin caused electron-dense vesicular structures to accumulate at the electron microscopy (EM) level. In hepatocytes, these structures became visible 60 minutes after treatment (40 mg/kg). The findings indicated that leupeptin prevented LC3b-II from being broken down inside lysosomes, increasing its levels in vivo. As a result, the leupeptin-based assay has the potential to be used to investigate the dynamics of macroautophagy in mice.

| Enzyme Assay |
Mpro enzyme activity inhibition test. [5]
A total of 20 mM leupeptin hemisulfate in deionized water was diluted to 2 mM to 31.25 μM with 25 mM Tris buffer (pH 8.0). A 30-μl inhibitor solution with a series of concentrations in 25 mM Tris buffer (pH 8.0) was first mixed with 10 μl 100 μM peptide substrate (Dabcyl-TSAVLQ↓SGFRKMK-Edans; GenScript). Next, 10 μl of a final concentration of 200 nM Mpro was added to the plate. The relative fluorescence unit (RFU) value was measured with an excitation wavelength of 360 nm and an emission wavelength of 490 nm at 37°C for 1 h by using a SpectraMax Paradigm multimode detection platform (Molecular Devices, USA). Experiments were performed in triplicate. The enzyme activity reaction rate and inhibition rate were calculated by using MS Excel. The inhibition curve was plotted by using GraphPad Prism 8.0.

| Cell Assay |
Leupeptin inhibited human coronavirus strain 229E multiplication in MRC-C cell cultures. Leupeptin's IC50 value in plaque tests was 0.4 μg/mL, and at 50 μg/mL, it had no effect on the host cells' ability to grow. Leupeptin (100 μg/mL) only inhibited virus yield in single-cycle growth experiments when added within two hours of infection, suggesting that it acts on the early stages of virus replication.[5]
