Product Description
Zetomipzomib (KZR-616) maleate is a first-in-class immunoproteasome inhibitor that selectively targets the immunoproteasome subunits LMP7 (IC50= 39/57 nM=hLMP7/mLMP7) and LMP2 (IC50= 131/179 nM =hLMP2/mLMP2). Zetomipzomib maleate may be utilized in a variety of autoimmune diseases.
Zetomipzomib (KZR-616) is a novel, selective, and covalent tripeptide epoxyketone inhibitor of the immunoproteasome. It was developed by Kezar Life Sciences based on structure-activity relationship studies from earlier compounds like ONX 0914 and PR-924. KZR-616 was designed to achieve a dual inhibition profile of the LMP7 (β5i) and LMP2 (β1i) subunits, which was identified as necessary for potent anti-inflammatory cytokine inhibition and in vivo efficacy. Optimized for improved solubility and target selectivity, KZR-616 is the first immunoproteasome-selective inhibitor to enter clinical trials (Phase Ib/II) for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, specifically rheumatic diseases and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) [1][3].
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Immunoproteasome subunits LMP7 (β5i) and LMP2 (β1i) [1][2][3].
- IC50 for human LMP7 (β5i): 39 nM [1][3].
- IC50 for human LMP2 (β1i): 623 nM [1][3].
- IC50 for human MECL-1 (β2i): 131 nM [1][3].
- Selectivity ratio (β5c/β5i): 17.6 [1][3].
ln Vitro
- Cytokine Inhibition in Human PBMCs and T cells: At a concentration resulting in inhibition of LMP7 by 89% and LMP2 by 59%, KZR-616 induced a decrease in pro-inflammatory cytokine production in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) stimulated with endotoxin [2].
It blocked T-cell production of IFN-γ, TNF-α, and GM-CSF from CD4+ T cells stimulated with antibodies to CD3 and CD28 [2].
- Inhibition of B-cell Differentiation: KZR-616 inhibited the differentiation of human B-cells into plasmablasts when stimulated with IL-21 and antibodies to CD40 and IgM [2].
- Protease Selectivity: As expected of compounds from the epoxyketone chemical class, KZR-616 showed no inhibition at 10 µM against a broad selectivity panel of 20 serine, metallo-, cysteine, and aspartyl proteases and 11 hydrolases [1].
Zetomipzomib maleate is an immunoproteasome selective inhibitor [3]. Additionally, constitutive proteasome β5 subunit (IC50=688 nM) and MECL-1 subunit (IC50=623 nM) are inhibited by methotrimib maleate. LMP7 and LMP2 in MOLT-4 cells are selectively inhibited by methotrimib maleate. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and methotrimib maleate (250 nM) exhibit a similar cytokine inhibitory profile [1].
ln Vivo
- Efficacy in SLE Mouse Model (NZB/W F1): KZR-616 treatment in diseased mice resulted in a complete resolution of proteinuria and significant reductions in autoantibody production and renal IgG deposition [2].
The halt in disease progression was durable, as proteinuria levels did not significantly increase 8 weeks after treatment discontinuation [2].
Histologic analysis following 12 weeks of treatment revealed a complete prevention in glomerulonephritis and sclerosis [2].
- Combination Therapy: Administration of KZR-616 in combination with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) resulted in significantly greater disease inhibition and prolonged survival compared to either treatment alone in the NZB/W F1 model [2].
- Immune Cell Depletion: Levels of activated T- and B-cells and short- and long-lived plasma cells were effectively depleted in diseased animals following KZR-616 treatment [2].
- Efficacy in Collagen Antibody Induced Arthritis (CAIA) Model: KZR-616 showed comparable efficacy to ONX 0914 at half the dosage (5 mg/kg vs. 10 mg/kg for ONX 0914) in the CAIA model [1].
Subcutaneous administration gave comparable results at similar dosages [1].
- Effect on T-cell Dependent Antibody Response (TDAR): KZR-616 had no significant effect on TDAR in mice or monkeys and did not affect the number of circulating lymphocytes in monkeys [2].
In an anti-collagen antibody-induced arthritis (CAIA) animal, methotrimib maleate (5 mg/kg; intravenously; repeated doses on days 6, 8, 11, and 13) has demonstrated effectiveness[1].
Enzyme Assay
- Proteasome Constitutive/Immunoproteasome Subunit ELISA (ProCISE): This ELISA-based technique was utilized for quantitative assessment of subunit-specific activity [1].
For cell lysate analysis, test compounds were serially diluted in DMSO, then diluted in hypotonic lysis buffer [1].
MOLT-4 or A20 cell lysate was treated with the compound for 1 hour at 25°C [1].
Treated cell lysate was incubated with a biotinylated proteasome active site binding probe for 2 hours at 25°C [1].
Subunits bound to the probe were isolated with streptavidin-conjugated sepharose beads [1].
After multiple rinses, the activity was measured [1].
This method was used to determine the IC50 values for KZR-616 against various proteasome subunits [1].
Cell Assay
- PBMC Whole Cell Assay for Subunit Inhibition and Cytokine Analysis: Cryopreserved PBMCs from healthy volunteers were cultured [1].
Compounds were diluted in DMSO and then in cell growth media [1].
Live PBMCs were treated with compounds for 1 hour at 37°C, then washed [1].
To measure immunoproteasome subunit inhibition, cells were frozen, thawed, and processed to lysate, and the ProCISE assay was performed as described in the Enzyme Assay section [1].
To measure cytokine inhibition, PBMCs were stimulated with LPS (1 µg/mL) or antibodies against CD3 and CD28 for 24 hours after compound treatment [1].
Supernatants were analyzed for TNFα, IL-6, the p40 subunit of IL-12/23, and IFNγ via electrochemiluminescent ELISA [1].
- B-cell Plasmablast Differentiation Assay: Human B-cells were stimulated with IL-21 and antibodies to CD40 and IgM [2].
KZR-616 was added, and its effect on the differentiation of B-cells into plasmablasts was measured [2].
Animal Protocol
- Mouse Pharmacodynamic Study: BALB/c mice were administered KZR-616 intravenously (iv) at 5 mg/kg [1].
Kidney and splenocyte (erythrocyte-depleted) samples were taken 1 hour after dosing [1].
The activity of LMP7, LMP2, MECL-1 (in splenocytes), and β5 (in kidney) was measured by ProCISE [1].
Data were normalized to the average activity of vehicle-treated animals [1].
- Mouse Collagen Antibody Induced Arthritis (CAIA) Model: BALB/c mice received 1.75 mg of a cocktail of five antibodies against type II collagen on day 0, followed by 25 µg of LPS on day 3 [1].
On day 4, when disease symptoms were present, animals were randomized and treated iv with vehicle, KZR-616 (at 2.5 or 5 mg/kg), or ONX 0914 (10 mg/kg) [1].
Dosing was repeated on days 6, 8, 11, and 13 [1].
Clinical scores (0-4 per paw; n=7/group) were followed until day 15 [1].
- Mouse SLE Model (NZB/W F1): The therapeutic effect of KZR-616 alone or in combination with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) was evaluated in the NZB/W F1 model of SLE [2].
Dosing regimens and administration routes (iv or subcutaneous) were described as effective at well-tolerated doses, enabling durable disease remission [2].
Animal/Disease Models: 7-8 week old female balb/c (Bagg ALBino) mouse (CAIA model)[1]
Doses: Iv; Dosing was repeated on days 6, 8, 11, and 13 until for 15 day
Route of Administration: 5 mg/kg
Experimental Results: demonstrated efficacy in the anticollagen antibody induced arthritis (CAIA) model.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
- General Pharmacokinetic Profile: Peptide epoxyketones, including KZR-616, show rapid pharmacokinetic clearance across species, with a typical half-life (t1/2) of less than 15 minutes [1].
Like other covalent inhibitors, their pharmacodynamic effects outlast compound pharmacokinetics and reflect the turnover of the covalently inhibited enzyme in perfused tissues [1].
- Mouse PK: The pharmacokinetics of KZR-616 upon intravenous administration to BALB/c mice were comparably rapid (t1/2 < 7 min, clearance > 73 mL min-1 kg-1) [1].
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
- Tolerability: Based on body weights and cage-side observations, no change in tolerability was detected between any treatment group (vehicle vs. KZR-616) in the CAIA mouse model [1].
- Lack of Immunosuppression: KZR-616 had no significant effect on T-cell dependent antibody responses (TDAR) in mice or monkeys and did not affect the number of circulating lymphocytes in monkeys, suggesting it does not cause general immunosuppression [2].
- Cell Viability: At fully inhibitory concentrations of all three immunoproteasome subunits, greater cytokine inhibition was achieved but was also associated with a loss of viability in the cells [1].

Additional Infomation
- Clinical Status: KZR-616 is the first immunoproteasome-selective inhibitor to enter clinical trials [1][3].
It is being developed for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and lupus nephritis [1][2][3].
A Phase 1b/2 study was listed for patients with SLE (NCT03393013) [1][3].
- Mechanism of Action: Studies demonstrated that a required immunoproteasome subunit inhibition profile for anti-inflammatory efficacy is the dual inhibition of LMP7/LMP2 or LMP7/MECL-1 [1].
Selective LMP7 inhibition alone (by compound 8) was insufficient to potently inhibit cytokine expression or disease progression [1].
KZR-616 was designed to achieve this dual inhibition profile [1].
- Structural Optimization: KZR-616 was optimized from earlier leads (ONX 0914, PR-924) by incorporating a P1 cyclopentene ring and an R-hydroxyl group substitution at the β position of the P2 methyltyrosine side chain [1].
This resulted in vastly improved solubility (2.5-fold over the analogue 11) while maintaining the desired subunit inhibition profile and efficacy [1].
