Ubenimex (Bestatin) is an inhibitor of aminopeptidase B, leukotriene A4 hydrolase, aminopeptidase N (Ki = 0.001 - 90 mM). Ubenimex inhibits enkephalin metabolism and leukotriene A4 hydrolase. Bestatin also inhibits tumor cell proliferation. Bestatin induced cell growth inhibition and phenotypic changes of HL-60 and HL-60R cell lines. In vitro, the upregulation of CD13/aminopeptidase N was found after 1 hr, however, the downregulation was observed after 3 hrs incubation with Ubenimex (Bestatin). On the other hand, the downregulation of CD15 and CD33 was observed after both one and 3 hrs incubation. Ubenimex may also be an effective anti-leukemic agent in vivo.

| Method | oral gavage | |
| Cell Lines | Japanese white rabbits | |
| Concentrations | 8 mg/kg·d | |
| Incubation Time | 5 days | |
| Results | Compared with those in PM group, the rabbits in group BPM showed significantly reduced LTB4 production in the lungs (P < 0.05), up-regulated cAMP/ PKA and Rap1 signaling pathway activities (P < 0.05), and alleviated lung hyper-permeability and inflammation (P < 0.05). |

| Weight (kg) | 0.02 | 0.15 | 1.8 | 0.4 | 0.08 | 10 |
| Body Surface Area (m2) | 0.007 | 0.025 | 0.15 | 0.05 | 0.02 | 0.5 |
| Km factor | 3 | 6 | 12 | 8 | 5 | 20 |
| Animal A (mg/kg) = Animal B (mg/kg) multiplied by | Animal B Km |
| Animal A Km |
For example, to modify the dose of Compound A used for a mouse (20 mg/kg) to a dose based on the BSA for a rat, multiply 20 mg/kg by the Km factor for a mouse and then divide by the Km factor for a rat. This calculation results in a rat equivalent dose for Compound A of 10 mg/kg.
