Antipain is an

ureylene group.[2] Antipain can aid in prevention of coagulation in blood. It is an inhibitor of serine and cysteine proteases.[3]

It has been crystallized in complexes with carboxypeptidase, which is obtained from wheat,[4] and Leishmania major oligopeptidase B.[5] In both cases, the backbone carbonyl of the terminal arginine of antipain forms a covalent bond to the active site serine in the protease.

A study was performed for information on the effect of antipain on the quality of post-thawed ram semen.[6] The results from this experiment concluded that antipain aided in the quality of ram semen by maintaining the sperm mobility.[6] Antipain includes the function to inhibit a degrading enzyme, called plasmin, permitting this substance to be able to improve the resistance of membrane disruption by freezing temperatures.[6]

Antipain Y, a similar chemical compound that is an

analog of antipain, which was isolated from a species of Streptomyces, inhibits the release of neurotransmitters in rat dorsal root ganglion neurons.[7]
