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)

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: ~100 mg/mL (~183.3 mM)
Water: <1 mg/mL
Ethanol: <1 mg/mL
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg

10 mM 0.1833 mL 0.9165 mL 1.8331 mL

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. 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
g/mol

Molecular Weight Calculator allows you to calculate the molar mass and elemental composition of a compound, as detailed below:

Note: Chemical formula is case sensitive: C12H18N3O4  c12h18n3o4
Instructions to calculate molar mass (molecular weight) of a chemical compound:
  • To calculate molar mass of a chemical compound, please enter the chemical/molecular formula and click the “Calculate’ button.
Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
  • Molecular mass (or molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed in the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
  • Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.
