Alvelestat-¹³C,d₃

Alvelestat-¹³C,d₃ (AZD9668-¹³C,d₃) is the deuterated, ¹³C-labeled Alvelestat (HY-15651). Alvelestat (AZD9668) is an orally active, selective inhibitor of neutrophil elastase. Alvelestat reduces elastase activity, myeloperoxidase release, neutrophil recruitment and activation, and calcium phosphate precipitation; promotes smooth muscle cell colonization and collagen deposition; and inhibits the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) as well as NET-derived neutrophil elastase activity. Alvelestat restores endothelial dysfunction, regulates antioxidant factors, improves the expression of endothelial tight junctions, reduces vascular leakage, and accelerates wound healing. Alvelestat prevents pulmonary hemorrhage, matrix protein degradation, airspace enlargement, and small airway wall remodeling; and alleviates cigarette-induced inflammatory responses. Alvelestat inhibits the growth of abdominal aortic aneurysms exacerbated by Porphyromonas gingivalis. Alvelestat can be used in research related to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, abdominal aortic aneurysm, radiation-induced skin injury, and bronchiectasis.
