Product Description

Alvelestat (formerly also known as MPH966; AZD9668) is a novel, potent, orally bioavailable, and highly selective inhibitor of neutrophil elastase (NE) with potential anti-inflammatory properties is Alvelestat (previously also known as MPH966; AZD9668). Compared to other serine proteases, it is at least 600-fold more selective and inhibits neutrophil elastase with IC50 and Ki of 12 nM and 9.4 nM, respectively.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
neutrophil elastas (pIC = 7.9 nM); neutrophil elastas (Ki = 9.4 nM); neutrophil elastas (Kd = 9.5 nM)
ln Vitro
AZD9668 suppresses NE activity in the supernatant of primed, stimulated cells as well as on the surface of stimulated polymorphonuclear cells and plasma NE activity in whole blood stimulated with zymosan.[1]
ln Vivo
AZD9668 (p.o.) protects against human NE-induced lung injury in mice and rats. A mouse model of smoke-induced airway inflammation shows that AZD9668 dramatically lowers BAL neutrophil counts and BAL IL-1β levels. AZD9668 inhibits the remodeling of the small airway wall and enlargement of the airspace in guinea pigs exposed to tobacco smoke over an extended period of time in a chronic smoke model.[1]
Enzyme Assay
AZD9668 demonstrated a strong inhibition of NE activity and a high binding affinity (KD = 9.5 nM) for human NE. For human NE, AZD9668's computed pIC50 (IC50) and Ki values were 7.9 (12 nM) and 4.9 nM, respectively. AZD9668 and NE exhibited a swiftly reversible interaction, in contrast to previous NE inhibitors. In comparison to other neutrophil-derived serine proteases, AZD9668 exhibited a high degree of selectivity for NE.
Cell Assay
AZD9668 reduced plasma NE activity in whole blood stimulated with zymosan in cell-based experiments. In human polymorphonuclear cells that were isolated, AZD9668 reduced NE activity in the primed, stimulated cell supernatant and on the surface of the stimulated cells. Good crossover potency to NE was demonstrated by AZD9668 from other species.
Animal Protocol
Human NE-induced acute lung injury in mice or rats, guinea pig chronic smoke model.
~10 mg/kg (mice); ~20 mg/kg (rats); ~100 mg/kg (pigs)

Additional Infomation
Alvelestat has been investigated for the basic science of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.
Alvelestat is an orally bioavailable, selective and reversible inhibitor of human neutrophil elastase (NE), with potential anti-inflammatory activity. Upon administration, alvelestat binds to and inhibits the activity of human NE. This inhibits NE-mediated inflammatory responses, which may prevent lung inflammation and injury, and may improve lung function associated with NE-induced respiratory diseases. NE, a serine protease released by neutrophils during inflammation, is upregulated in a number of respiratory diseases.
These protocols are for reference only. InvivoChem does not independently validate these methods.

Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
