Ubenimex (INN), also known more commonly asbestatin, is a competitive, reversibleprotease inhibitor. It is aninhibitor ofarginyl aminopeptidase (aminopeptidase B),[3]leukotriene A4 hydrolase (azinc metalloprotease that displays bothepoxide hydrolase andaminopeptidase activities),[4]alanyl aminopeptidase (aminopeptidase M/N),[5]leucyl/cystinyl aminopeptidase (oxytocinase/vasopressinase),[6][7] andmembrane dipeptidase (leukotriene D4 hydrolase). It is being studied for use in the treatment ofacute myelocytic leukemia[8] andlymphedema.[9]It is derived fromStreptomyces olivoreticuli.[10] Ubenimex has been found to inhibit the enzymatic degradation ofoxytocin,vasopressin,enkephalins, and various otherpeptides and compounds.[citation needed]
