Sign in to saveAlso known as (2S)-2-{[(2S)-2-{[(S)-hydroxy{[(2S,3R,4R,5R,6S)-3,4,5-trihydroxy-6-methyltetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yl]oxy}phosphoryl]amino}-4-methylpentanoyl]amino}-3-(1H-indol-3-yl)propanoic acid (non-preferred name), N-(N-(((6-deoxy-alpha-L-mannopyranosyl)oxy)hydroxyphosphinyl)-L-leucyl)-L-tryptophan
Phosphoramidon is a chemical compound derived from cultures of Streptomyces tanashiensis. It is an inhibitor of the enzyme thermolysin, of the membrane metallo-endopeptidase, and of the endothelin converting enzyme. Chemically, phosphoramidon differs from its closely related peptidase inhibitor talopeptin by a single stereocenter.

Phosphoramidon is a chemical compound derived from cultures of Streptomyces tanashiensis. It is an inhibitor of the enzyme thermolysin, of the membrane metallo-endopeptidase, and of the endothelin converting enzyme. Chemically, phosphoramidon differs from its closely related peptidase inhibitor talopeptin by a single stereocenter.
Because of its enzyme inhibitory properties, phosphoramidon is widely used as a biochemical tool.
