Description of E 64d

E 64d is a cell-permeable, irreversible, broad-spectrum cysteine protease inhibitor with platelet aggregation inhibitory activity[1]. E 64d is a non-selective covalent tissue protease inhibitor containing an epoxide ring as a warhead that can be nucleophilically attacked by Cys-SH and form a covalent bond at the catalytic site[2]. E 64d inhibits the accumulation of protease-resistant prion protein (PrP-res) in ScNB cells with an IC50 of 0.5±0.11μM[3].

In vitro, pretreatment of SH-SY5Y cells with E 64d (3µM) for 30min improved the amyloid beta-induced decrease in sAPPα secretion and reversed the ceramide-induced downregulation of protein kinase C[4]. Treatment of HT22 cells with E 64d (25μM) for 24h alleviated glutamate-induced apoptosis, reversed the decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential, and reduced oxidative stress[5].

In vivo, E 64d (9mg/kg/day) was intraperitoneally injected into arthritic mice for 10 days, which significantly reduced the severity of clinical arthritis and histopathology, and decreased the mRNA levels of cytokines IL-6 and IL-1β[6]. E 64d (1mg/kg) was intravenously injected into rats with spinal cord injury (SCI) for 7 days, which inhibited the inflammatory response caused by SCI, reduced the expression of calretinin 1 in spinal cord tissue, reduced neuronal apoptosis, and inhibited the activity of cyclooxygenase 2[7].

Protocol of E 64d

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

SH-SY5Y cells

Preparation Method

SH-SY5Y cells were pretreated with or without E 64d (3µM) for 30min and incubated with Aβ (0.001 or 0.01µM) for 5.5h, followed by incubation with methacholine (1mM) for 2h. Secreted sAPPα was analyzed by Western blotting using 6E10 antibody.

Reaction Conditions

3µM; 30min

Applications

E 64d restores the Aβ-induced reduction of sAPPα secretion in SH-SY5Y cells.

Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

BALB/c mice

Preparation Method

Arthritis was induced in 7-week-old female BALB/c mice with a mixture of anti -type II CL mAbs and LPS. 2 mg per body of mAb mixture was injected i.p. into each mouse, and 48h later, 50µg per body of LPS was injected i.p. in order to enhance the arthritis. A high dose (9mg/kg/day) or low dose (3mg/kg/day) of E 64d, recombinant cal pastatin (rCS) (9mg/kg/day) or control diluent was administered i.p. to the disease-affected mice for 10 days from the day before the injection of mAbs. Excise the right hind paw from each body and macroscopically assess the severity of arthritis in each paw. Evaluate histopathological severity based on findings of cellular infiltration, pannus formation, and bone erosion.

Dosage form

3、9mg/kg/day for 10 days; i.p.

Applications

The clinical arthritis score of the high-dose E 64d group was significantly lower than that of the untreated group, while there was no improvement in the low-dose E 64d group and the rCS-treated group. The cell infiltration histopathological score and total histopathological arthritis score of the high-dose E 64d group were significantly lower than those of the untreated group.
