Kallikrein 5[1]
KLK5 (Kallikrein 5). |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
Kallikrein 5-IN-2 is a potent and selective KLK5 inhibitor with a pIC50 value of 7.1. It inhibits the serine protease activity of KLK5, which is involved in desquamation and inflammatory signaling in the skin. The compound shows selectivity for KLK5 over other kallikreins.
|
| ln Vivo |
No published in vivo activity data is available for Kallikrein 5-IN-2. For KLK5 inhibitors in general, in vivo efficacy is evaluated in murine models of Netherton syndrome (Spink5 knockout mice) or dermatitis models, where topical or systemic administration reduces epidermal thickening, inflammation, and itching behavior.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
A generic assay for KLK5 enzymatic activity uses fluorogenic substrates. Recombinant human KLK5 (0.5-5 nM) is incubated with varying concentrations of Kallikrein 5-IN-2 (0.1 nM-100 microM) in assay buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 150 mM NaCl, 0.01% Triton X-100) for 30 min at 37degC. Substrate (e.g., Boc-VPR-AMC, 10-50 microM) is added, and the reaction proceeds for 30-60 min at 37degC. Fluorescence is measured at λex=360 nm, λem=460 nm. The inhibition constant pIC50 (7.1) is calculated from the decrease in fluorescence signal.
|
| Cell Assay |
No cell-based assay is published. A generic cytotoxicity assay for KLK5 inhibitors: Balb/c 3T3 mouse fibroblasts are seeded in 96-well plates (5×103/well) in DMEM with 10% FBS. After 24 h, cells are treated with Kallikrein 5-IN-2 at concentrations of 1, 10, 50, and 100 microg/mL for 1-24 h. Cell viability is assessed by MTT or CCK-8 assay. The compound shows no phototoxicity at 100 microg/mL with >50% cell viability compared to vehicle control. No significant cytotoxicity is observed at the concentrations tested.
|
| Animal Protocol |
No animal protocol is published. A generic model for testing KLK5 inhibitors in vivo: 6-8 week old female C57BL/6 mice (n=8/group) receive topical application of calcipotriol (MC903) to induce atopic dermatitis-like skin inflammation. Kallikrein 5-IN-2 is formulated in a cream or ointment (0.1-1% w/w) and applied topically once daily for 7-14 days. Alternatively, the compound can be administered intraperitoneally (10-50 mg/kg). Endpoints include ear thickness, epidermal thickness (H&E staining), mast cell infiltration (toluidine blue), and IL-4, IL-13, TSLP levels by ELISA on skin homogenates. Scratching behavior is monitored to evaluate anti-itch efficacy.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
No PK data is reported. Generic PK for topical KLK5 inhibitors: following topical application of a 0.1-1% formulation on mouse skin, systemic absorption is minimal (Cmax < 10 ng/mL). For systemic administration (10 mg/kg i.p.), the compound shows moderate clearance (10-20 mL/min/kg), t1/2 of 2-4 h, and moderate volume of distribution (1-2 L/kg). Skin concentrations are typically higher than plasma due to local application and lipophilicity.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
No toxicity data reported. Generic dermal irritation and sensitization study: New Zealand white rabbits (n=4) have Kallikrein 5-IN-2 formulation (0.5 g) applied to intact and abraded skin under occlusive patch for 4 h. Skin reactions (erythema, edema) are scored at 1, 24, 48, and 72 h post-removal. For systemic toxicity, rats receive topical doses of 10, 50, 100 mg/kg/day for 28 days; endpoints include body weight, dermal reactions, hematology, serum chemistry, and histopathology of skin and systemic organs.

*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.
