Antipain is an oligopeptide isolated from actinomycetes and used in biochemical research as a protease inhibitor, reported in 1972 as the first natural peptide containing a ureylene group.[1] Specifically, it is an inhibitor of trypsin and papain.[2]

It has been crystallised in complex with carboxypeptidase from wheat[3] and Leishmania major oligopeptidase B.[4] In both cases the backbone carbonyl of the terminal arginine of antipain forms a covalent bond to the active site serine in the protease.
