Product Description
Verducatib is an orally effective cathepsin C (also known as DPP1) inhibitor. Verducatib restores the protease-inhibitor balance by inhibiting the activation of neutrophil serine proteases, thereby reducing lung inflammation and modulating the infection response. Verducatib significantly reduces the risk (including severe exacerbations) and frequency of acute exacerbations in patients with bronchiectasis (BE). Verducatib also improves lung function and quality of life and shortens the duration of antibiotic use. The overall incidence of adverse events with Verducatib was comparable to that in the placebo group, with only slightly more mild to moderate skin adverse events observed in the high-dose group, indicating its promising clinical potential.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Verducatib (BI 1291583) (0.08, 0.4, 2, 10, 50 nM, pH 4.5) binds reversibly covalently to recombinant human cathepsin C (CatC). Its binding kinetic parameters are: kon 6.36×10⁶ M⁻¹s⁻¹, koff 2.29×10⁻³ s⁻¹, equilibrium dissociation constant KD is 0.43 nM, and binding half-life t₁/₂ is 5.19 min[3]. Verducatib (0.064-1000 nM; 48 h) inhibits the production of active neutrophil elastase (NE) in human neutrophil progenitor cells U937 in a concentration-dependent manner, with an IC₅₀ of 0.7 nM. It has no obvious cytotoxicity to U937 cells, and the cell survival rate is higher than 93% at all tested concentrations, with an average cell survival rate of 98% at the highest concentration of 1000 nM[3].
ln Vivo
In a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced lung neutrophil infiltration model in female Cr1:NMRI mice, Verducatib (BI 1291583) (0.005–5 mg/kg; orally; twice daily) dose-dependently inhibited the production of active neutrophil elastase (NE) and cathepsin G (CatG) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), with maximum inhibition rates of 97% and 99%, respectively. The ED99 for NE inhibition was 1.5 mg/kg [3]. In pharmacokinetic models in healthy mice and rats, Verducatib (single oral dose) rapidly distributed to the target tissue, bone marrow, and was slowly cleared. Even at low doses, its distribution profile showed significantly higher bone marrow exposure than plasma exposure, and this characteristic was not significantly different between the two species [3].
Cell Assay
ELISA detection [3]
Cell Types: Human neutrophil progenitor cells U937
Tested Concentrations: 0.064, 0.32, 1.6, 8, 40, 200, 1000 nM
Incubation Duration: 48 hours
Experimental Results: Inhibited the production of active neutrophil elastase (NE) in human neutrophil progenitor cells U937, with an IC50 of 0.7 nM.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models:Female Cr1:NMRI mice, LPS-stimulated pulmonary neutrophil infiltration model, used for preclinical mechanism verification of bronchiectasis [3]
Doses: 0.005 mg/kg, 0.05 mg/kg, 0.5 mg/kg, 5 mg/kg
Route of Administration: twice daily by gavage on days 1-5, 8 and 9, with the last administration on day 10, followed by nebulized Escherichia coli LPS stimulation Experimental
Experimental Results: The production of active neutrophil elastase (NE) and cathepsin G (CatG) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) neutrophils was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner. The maximum inhibition rate of NE reached 97%, and the ED99 value of NE inhibition was 1.5 mg/kg; the maximum inhibition rate of CatG reached 99%. Compared with the solvent control group, NE activity was statistically significantly inhibited (p<0.001). Five hours after the last administration of 0.5 mg/kg, the mean exposure of BI 1291583 in bone marrow was 2981.7 nM, while the corresponding plasma exposure was 32.5 nM.

*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:

  • 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)
