Biological Activity for E 64

E 64 is a potent and irreversible cysteine protease inhibitor (IC50 values are 1.4, 2.5 and 4.1 nM for cathepsin K, L and S respectively. Also inhibits papain, calpain, cathepsin B and cathepsin H. Has no effect on serine proteases. Reduces HSC-3 tongue cancer cell invasion and induces oxidative stress and apoptosis in filarial parasites. Also inhibits autophagy-associated lysosomal degradation in vitro.

Reduction of cathepsin acitivity in vitro with E64 inhibitor.
By Yann Malato on 10/03/2024
Assay Type: In Vitro
Species: Human
Cell Line/Tissue: ARPE19

I used the E64 in ARPE19 cells after sodium iodate administration with a fluorescent cathepsin sensor (magic red). I used E64 at 10uM and it reduced the signal of magic red vs DMSO 0.01% control
