Description

Z-FY-CHO (Z-Phe-Tyr-CHO) is a potent and specific cathepsin L (CTSL) inhibitor[1][2].

IC50 & Target

cathepsin L

 

In Vitro

Z-FY-CHO (10 μM, for 1 h) pretreatment alleviated cell death induced by 6-OHDA. Z-FY-CHO inhibits the increase in CTSL protein expression in 6-OHDA-treated SH-SY5Y cells. Treatment with Z-FY-CHO caused more LC3-II and less P62 expression in SH-SY5Y cells treated with 6-OHDA, indicating enhancing autophagy activity, and Z-FY-CHO blocks activation of caspase-3 and PARP[1].
? Treatment with the specific cathepsin L inhibitor Z-FY-CHO (10 μM) or transfection with cathepsin L shRNA significantly increased the radiosensitivity of U251 cells. Both suppression and knockdown of cathepsin L in U251 cells increased irradiation-induced DNA damage and G2/M phase cell cycle arrest. Both suppression and knockdown of cathepsin L in U251 cells also increased irradiation-induced apoptosis, as shown by the increased levels of Bax and decreased levels of Bcl-2[2].

In Vivo

Intraperitoneal administration of Z-FY-CHO (2.5-10 mg/kg) for 4 weeks suppresses bone weight loss dose dependently in the ovariectomized mouse, experimental model of osteoporosis. Z-FY-CHO acts as a bone resorption suppressor through the inhibition of collagen degradation[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: ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (2.80 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (12.5 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: 1.25 mg/mL (2.80 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

    This protocol yields a suspended solution of 1.25 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (12.5 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.
