LHVS (K110717) is a novel, potent, non-selective and irreversible cysteine protease cathepsin S (CatS) inhibitor. LHVS effectively blocks T. gondii microneme protein secretion (IC50=10 μM), gliding motility, and cell invasion.

Biological Activity
| ln Vitro | When compared to untreated osteoclasts, LHVS (5 μM, 2 hours) caused a 50% decrease in actin ring formation in wild-type osteoclasts [1]. LHVS inhibits cathepsins K, L, S, and B at 5 μM and acts on osteoclasts in a dose-dependent manner [1]. In HOM2 cells, LHVS (1–5 nM) selectively inhibits cathepsin S, maintaining the functional activity of other cysteine proteases [3]. By stopping micronemes from releasing at least two essential invasion proteins, MIC2 and M2AP, LHVS hinders tachyzoite attachment [2]. LHVS (50 μM) specifically reduces the secretion of microsomal proteins [2]. |
| ln Vivo | In neuropathic rats, LHVS (3–30 mg/kg, subcutaneous injection, once) exhibits anti-hyperalgesic effects [4]. Neuropathic rats show analgesic effects from daily spinal administration of 30 nmol per rat of LHVS [5]. In 14-day-old neuropathic rats, LHVS (1-50 nmol per rat, intrathecally, daily) reverses established neuropathic mechanical hyperalgesia [5]. |
| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Male Wistar rat (180-220 g) [4] Doses: 3-30 mg/kg Route of Administration: subcutaneous injection, once Experimental Results:Produces dose-dependent reversal of mechanical hyperalgesia, long-lasting in neuropathic rats up to 3 hrs (hrs (hours)). In contrast, a single systemic administration of LHVS did not reverse mechanical allodynia in neuropathic rats. Animal/Disease Models: Male Wistar rats received partial ligation of the left sciatic nerve (PNL) [5] Doses: 30 nmol per rat Route of Administration: spinal cord, daily Experimental Results: continuous administration from day 0 to day 1 failed to prevent the occurrence of allodynia on day 7 after PNL, but Dramatically reversed allodynia on day 7 after PNL. Furthermore, LHVS from days 7 to 14 after PNL Dramatically reversed established mechanical allodynia from day 8 onwards. Animal/Disease Models: Male Wistar rats underwent partial ligation of the left sciatic nerve (PNL) [5] Doses: 1. 10 or 50 nmol per rat Route of Administration: Intrathecal injection, daily Experimental Results: Reduction of established mechani |

| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (4.74 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 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. Solubility in Formulation 2: 2.5 mg/mL (4.74 mM) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), suspension solution; with ultrasonication. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 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. Solubility in Formulation 3: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (4.74 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |
