Product Description

Loxistatin Acid (formerly also known as E-64C; NSC-694279; EP-475), an analog of E-64, is a novel, potent, irreversible and membrane-permeable cysteine protease inhibitor with important biological activity. Using cathepsins B and L, it has been shown that E-64-c is significantly more reactive than E-64. To measure the rate constants of inhibition of E-64-c, human liver cathepsins B and H and rat cathepsin L were utilized. The results showed that the rate constants of inactivation of cathepsins B, H, and L were, respectively, 298000, 2018, and 206000 M-1 s-1.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Cysteine proteases; CANP; Cathepsin C
ln Vitro
Loxistatin Acid (E-64C) normalizes the increased activities of cathepsin B and cathepsin H in the pectoral muscle of dystrophic chickens.[2] After the middle cerebral artery in rats is blocked, E-64C prevents the ischemic degradation of cerebral proteins.[3]
ln Vivo
Loxistatin Acid (E-64C), as a thiol protease inhibitor, inhibits calpain activity in intact platelets.[1] E-64C shows promise as a treatment for Alzheimer's disease because it reduces the production of Aβ and inhibits β-secretase activity in the regulated secretory vesicles of neuronal chromaffin cells.[4]
Animal Protocol
Dogs: Research is conducted on 83 mongrel dogs weighing an average of 11.2 kg. Through intravenous sodium thiamylal (7 mg/kg), they are rendered unconscious. Group A (n = 17) receives an intravenous bolus of E-64c (100 mg/kg) dissolved in saturated sodium bicarbonate just prior to the occlusion and following reperfusion, while Group B (n = 17) only receives the vehicle solution during these periods. The LAD is permanently ligated at the same level in the 49 dogs that remain (Groups C and D). An intravenous bolus of either vehicle only (Group D; n = 25) or loxstatin acid (100 mg/kg) is administered just prior to and one hour following the ligation. The estimated intramyocardial Loxistatin acid molecular concentration is 1,000 times that of total mCANP, and the dose of E-64c is intended for potential use in clinical practice.

For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

*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
