KR-67607 is a selective 11β-HSD1 inhibitor, with an IC50 value of 4.8 nM against h11β-HSD1 and 7.1 nM against mouse 11β-HSD1. KR-67607 inhibits stress-induced Glucocorticoid receptor nuclear translocation, reduces cortisol levels, suppresses the expression of ROS and proinflammatory cytokines, and enhances Nrf-2-mediated antioxidant gene transcription. KR-67607 maintains trabecular meshwork structure and reverses elevated intraocular pressure. KR-67607 improves ocular antioxidant activity and mucus secretion, reverses ocular surface damage, and prevents ischemia-reperfusion induced ocular injury.

In Vitro

KR-67607 (3 h) potently and selectively inhibits the reductase activity of 11β-HSD1, with an IC50 value of 4.8 nM against h11β-HSD1 and 7.1 nM against mouse 11β-HSD1[1].
KR-67607 (0.001-2 μM; 1 h ischemia, 24 h reperfusion) potently inhibits 11β-HSD1 reductase activity in IAA-treated HTMC, with an inhibition rate >50% at 1 nM and >90% at concentrations ≥0.02 μM[1].

KR-67607 (0.001-2 μM; 1 h ischemia, 24 h reperfusion) reduces IAA-treated HTMCs' LDH leakage in a dose-dependent manner, indicating its protective effect against ischemia-reperfusion induced cell membrane damage[1].

KR-67607 (at 24 h of reperfusion) protects HTMCs from ischemia-reperfusion-induced cell death by inhibiting 11β-HSD1, which is confirmed by the absence of a protective effect in 11β-HSD1-knockdown cells[1].

KR-67607 (2-5 μM; 2 h reperfusion) dose-dependently increases the expression of HO-1 protein in IAA-treated HTMCs after ischemia-reperfusion injury, with no effect on the activation of p38 MAPK[1].
KR-67607 (2-5 μM) upregulates the expression of Nrf-2-ARE-related antioxidant genes (HO-1, NQO-1, GCLC) in IAA-treated HTMC after ischemia-reperfusion injury[1].
KR-67607 (2-5 μM; 2 h reperfusion) dose-dependently inhibits the nuclear translocation of GR induced by IAA in HTMC after ischemia-reperfusion injury[1].
KR-67607 potently and selectively inhibits the reductase activities of h11β-HSD1 and mouse 11β-HSD1 in CHO-K1 cells, with corresponding IC50 values of 4 nM and 7 nM, respectively, while exerting no significant inhibitory effect on related steroid dehydrogenases[3].

In Vivo

KR-67607 (1.5-20 mg/mL; topical; twice daily; 3 pre-treatment days plus 4 reperfusion days) effectively reduces cortisol levels in mouse eyes subjected to ischemia-reperfusion and preserves TM and SC structure, protecting against glaucoma-related tissue damage[1].

KR-67607 (0.75-1.5 mg/mL; topical; twice daily; 4 months) reduces IOP by up to 26.1% and prevents glaucomatous optic neuropathy in DBA/2 mice by attenuating RGC loss, suppressing astrocyte activation, and restoring ocular tissue structure[2].
KR-67607 (0.75-1.5 mg/mL; topical; twice daily; 10 days) prevents BAC-induced dry eye syndrome in SD rats by reducing ocular surface damage, restoring corneal epithelial thickness and basement membrane structure, suppressing oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory cytokine expression, improving mucus secretion, and reducing 11β-HSD1 expression[3].

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.
