E-64 (Proteinase inhibitor E 64) is a cathepsin B-specific inhibitor, and its binding modes with papain, actinidin, cathepsin L, and cathepsin K have been reviewed at the atomic level. E-64 has been widely used as a potent and irreversible (covalent-type) inhibitor for many cysteine proteases such as papain, ficin, actinidin, cathepsin B and L. The S.cervi adult parasites are incubated in the Krebs Ringer bicarbonate (KRB) maintenance medium for 8 h at 37°C, 5% CO2 with 5, 10, 20 and 40 μM concentration of E-64. E-64 shows a concentration and time dependent decrease in motility and viability of the parasites (EC50=16 μM).
