Description

E 64c is a derivative of naturally occurring epoxide inhibitor of cysteine proteases, a Calcium-activated neutral protease (CANP) inhibitor and a very weak irreversible cathepsin C inhibitor. E 64c exhibits entry-blocking effect for MERS-CoV.

IC50 & Target

Cathepsin C

 

In Vitro

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].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

The t-1/2 of plasma E-64c is 0.48 hours. The hemodynamic effects of E-64c are absent at this dose. Using two way analysis of variance, the effects of reperfusion (p=0.0016) or E-64c (p=0.0226) per se on infarct size are significant. In comparing Group A with Group B and Group C with Group D, the depletion of CPK in the E-64c treated groups (Groups A and C) is slightly less than in the vehicle-injected groups (Groups B and D). The insufficient effect of E-64c alone may be explained by the early administration and relatively short t-1/2. Since the effectiveness of NCO-700 has been established,6),7) our findings might indicate a small but beneficial effect of E-64c on infarct size and CPK content[2].

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: ≥ 2.08 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.
  • Protocol 2

    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.

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].

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.
