Cathepsin C |
E-64c, a derivative of naturally occurring epoxide inhibitor of cysteine proteases, with papain; especially with regard to the hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions of the ligands with conserved residues in the catalytic binding site[1]. E 64c (k2/Ki=140±5M-1s-1) is demonstrated to be a lead structure for the development of irreversible cathepsin C inhibitors[3].

Solvent & Solubility
DMSO : 250 mg/mL (795.22 mM; Need ultrasonic; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 6 months; -20°C, 1 month. When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 month.

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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (6.62 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (6.62 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 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.

Please ensure that the stock solution in the first step is dissolved to a clear state, and add co-solvents in sequence. You can use ultrasonic heating (ultrasonic cleaner, recommended frequency 20-40 kHz), vortexing, etc. to assist dissolution.
Protocol
Dogs[2]
Studies are carried out in 83 mongrel dogs with a mean weight of 11.2kg. They are anesthetized with intravenous sodium thiamylal (7mg/kg). An intravenous bolus of E-64c (100mg/kg), dissolved in saturated sodium bicarbonate, is administered immediately before the occlusion and after reperfusion in Group A (n=17), whereas Group B (n=17) receive only the vehicle solution at these times. In the remaining 49 dogs (Groups C and D), the LAD is permanently ligated at the same level and an intravenous bolus of either Loxistatin acid (100mg/kg) (Group C; n=24) or vehicle only (Group D; n=25) is given immediately before and 1 hour after the ligation. The dose of E-64c is designed for its possible use in clinical practice and the estimated intramyocardial Loxistatin acid molecular concentration is 1,000 times that of total mCANP[2].
