    Description

    LY 3000328 (Z-FL-COCHO) is a potent and selective Cathepsin S (Cat S) inhibitor with IC50s of 7.7 and 1.67 nM for hCat S and mCat S, respectively.

    IC50 & Target

    cathepsin S

     

    In Vitro

    LY 3000328 maintains excellent in vitro potency and selectivity. LY 3000328 shows low in vitro CYP450 inhibition (<15% at 10 μM for CYP3A4, CYP2D6, and CYP2C9); low in vitro metabolism in mouse, rat, dog, and human liver microsomes (<20% after 30 min incubation at 4 μM); and good permeability (MDCK A-B>4%). At a 100 μM concentration of LY 3000328 there is only 6% displacement of [3H]-astemizole in an assay with HEK293 membrane preparation, indicating low potential of hERG blockade[1]. LY 3000328 is a potent and specific inhibitor of cathepsin S (CatS). Inhibition of CatS activity in plasma would be 50% of maximal when LY 3000328 plasma concentration is approximately 60 ng/mL[2].

    In Vivo

    The efficacies of LY 3000328 is studied in a mouse model of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). In this model, inflammation is induced using CaCl2 applied to the ablumenal surface. It is shown that features of the disease state in this model resemble those of human AAA. LY 3000328 exhibits a dose-responsive aortic diameter reduction at 1, 3, 10, and 30 mg/kg. At the lowest dose of 1 mg/kg of LY 3000328, the aortic diameter is reduced by 58%, then 83% at 3 mg/kg, and 87% at 10 mg/kg. The exposure (AUC) for both compounds increased in a dose-dependent manner, suggesting that the drug disposition properties of LY 3000328 are favorable[1].

    In Vivo:

    Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

    For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
    To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
    The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

    • Protocol 1

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

      Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.16 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

      Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
    • Protocol 2

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

      Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.16 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

      Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
