Furin is a proprotein convertase, converting precursor proteins to functional proteins within the Golgi/trans-Golgi secretory pathway. Naphthofluorescein is a cell-permeable inhibitor of furin (IC50 = 12 μM).{16121} It inhibits furin-mediated cleavage of the pro-form of membrane type-1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP), resulting in decreased levels of active MT1-MMP.{16121} This, in turn, suppresses MMP-2 activation and reduces cell motility in CHO cells expressing proMT1-MMP.{16121} Napthofluorescein significantly inhibits the invasion of Matrigel by the human fibrosarcoma cell line, HT1080.{16121} The effects of this furin inhibitor on other furin-mediated processes, in vivo or in vitro, remain to be determined.
