K777 is a potent, orally active and irreversible cysteine protease inhibitor. K777 is also a potent CYP3A4 inhibitor with an IC50 of 60 nM and a selective CCR4 antagonist featuring the potent chemotaxis inhibition. K777 irreversibly inhibits Cruzain, the major cysteine protease of Trypansoma cruzi, and cathepsins B and L. K777 is a broad-spectrum antiviral by targeting cathepsin-mediated cell entry. K777 inhibits SARS-CoV and EBOV pseudovirus entry with IC50 values of 0.68 nM and 0.87 nM, respectively.

Description

K777 is a potent, orally active and irreversible cysteine protease inhibitor. K777 is also a potent CYP3A4 inhibitor with an IC50 of 60 nM and a selective CCR4 antagonist featuring the potent chemotaxis inhibition. K777 irreversibly inhibits Cruzain, the major cysteine protease of Trypansoma cruzi, and cathepsins B and L. K777 is a broad-spectrum antiviral by targeting cathepsin-mediated cell entry. K777 inhibits SARS-CoV and EBOV pseudovirus entry with IC50 values of 0.68 nM and 0.87 nM, respectively[1][2][3].

In Vitro

K777 (K11777) can inhibit entry driven by other viral envelope proteins, including HIV-based pseudotypes bearing spikes from coronaviruses (SARS-CoV, HCoV-229E, NL63, MERS-CoV) or glycoproteins from filoviruses (EBOV, SUDV, TAFV, RESTV, BEBOV and MARV).
K777 inhibits SARS-CoV, HCoV-229E, NL63, MERS-CoV, EBOV, SUDV, TAFV, RESTV, BEBOV, MARV and Nipah pseudovirus entry with IC50 values of 0.68 nM, 1.48 nM, 6.78 nM, 46.12 nM, 0.87 nM, 1.14 nM, 2.26 nM, 3.37 nM, 5.91 nM, 1.9 nM and 0.42 nM, respectively.
In contrast, 100 nM K777 does not inhibit infection mediated by envelope glycoproteins from an alphavirus (CHIKV), a rhabdovirus (VSV), a flavivirus (HCV), the retroviruses MLV-A and XMRV or two arenaviruses, Lassa and Junin virus[1].
K777 alone demonstrates up to ~ 70% inhibition of 229E-S-mediated transduction. Simultaneous treatment with Camostat and K777 increases inhibition to ~ 90%. Similar inhibition patterns are obtained using the human intestinal epithelial cell line Caco-2, which express endogenous TMPRSS2 and cathepsins[1].
K777 inhibits both CCL17 binding and CCL17-induced chemotaxis in Hut78 cells (IC50 of 57 and 8.9 nM, respectively). The K777-mediated inhibition of chemotaxis is potent even in the presence of a 10-fold higher concentration of CCL17.
K777 induces CCR4 internalization, with a ~50% reduction of cell surface CCR4. K777 does not inhibit CXCR4-induced chemotaxis or internalization and did not bring about Ca2+ mobilization by itself[3].

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 (4.35 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 (4.35 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.
