Application

Camostat mesylate may be used in cell signaling studies.
Camostat mesylate has been used to determine the effect of transmembrane protease, serine (TMPRSS) family proteases on cell-cell fusion.

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.
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.
