Product Description
Calpain Inhibitor VI (SJA6017) is a synthetic calpain peptide aldehyde inhibitor. Calpain Inhibitor VI inhibits purified m-calpain with IC50 of 80 nM. Calpain Inhibitor VI may be utilized in cataract research.
SJA6017 (CAS 190274-53-4), also known as Calpain Inhibitor VI, is a cell-permeable peptide aldehyde that acts as a reversible, potent inhibitor of calcium-dependent cysteine proteases µ-calpain (calpain-1) and m-calpain (calpain-2). It inhibits calpain-1 with IC50 of 7.5 nM and calpain-2 with IC50 of 78 nM. It also inhibits cathepsins B (IC50 = 15 nM) and L (IC50 = 1.6 nM). It is a valuable research tool for studying calpain-mediated processes, including apoptosis, cell migration, neurotoxicity, and cataract formation. It is intended for research use only and not for human therapeutic applications.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
SJA6017 targets the calcium-dependent cysteine proteases µ-calpain and m-calpain. It is a cell-permeable peptide aldehyde that acts as a reversible inhibitor by binding to the active site cysteine residue. It inhibits calpain-1 with an IC50 of 7.5 nM and calpain-2 with an IC50 of 78 nM. It also inhibits cathepsins B and L, which are lysosomal cysteine proteases. By inhibiting calpains, it prevents the proteolysis of substrates involved in signaling, cytoskeletal remodeling, and apoptosis. This makes it a key tool for studying calpain biology.
ln Vitro
In vitro, SJA6017 is a potent calpain inhibitor. It inhibits purified m-calpain with an IC50 of 80 nM. It is cell-permeable, allowing intracellular activity. The compound's activity is assessed by measuring calpain activity in cell lysates or purified enzyme preparations using fluorogenic substrates. It is used to study the role of calpains in various cellular processes, including apoptosis, cell migration, and neurotoxicity. It has been suggested for use in cataract research due to its ability to inhibit calpain-mediated lens protein degradation.
ln Vivo
In vivo, SJA6017 is used to study the role of calpains in disease models. By inhibiting calpain activity, it can protect against tissue damage in models of ischemia, neurodegeneration, and muscle dystrophy. Its cell-permeability makes it suitable for in vivo applications. However, comprehensive in vivo efficacy data are limited, and further studies are needed to evaluate its therapeutic potential. It is primarily a research tool for validating calpain as a therapeutic target.
Enzyme Assay
The in vitro enzyme assay for SJA6017 involves measuring calpain activity using a fluorogenic peptide substrate, such as Suc-LLVY-AMC. Purified calpain-1 or calpain-2 is pre-incubated with varying concentrations of SJA6017 (0.1 nM–10 µM) in the presence of calcium. The reaction is initiated by adding substrate, and the fluorescence (excitation 360 nm, emission 460 nm) is monitored over time. IC50 values are calculated from dose-response curves. Selectivity against cathepsins can be assessed using similar assays with cathepsin-specific substrates.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular assays for SJA6017 use various cell lines, such as neurons, myocytes, or cancer cells. Cells are treated with the compound at concentrations of 0.1–10 µM for 1–24 hours. Calpain activity is measured in cell lysates using fluorogenic substrates. Cell viability is assessed using MTT or LDH release assays. Apoptosis is evaluated by caspase-3/7 activity and Annexin V staining. The compound's effect on calpain substrates (e.g., spectrin breakdown products) is analyzed by Western blot. These assays help characterize its cellular mechanism.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for SJA6017 typically involve models of ischemia (e.g., middle cerebral artery occlusion), neurodegeneration (e.g., MPTP model), or muscle dystrophy. The compound is administered via intraperitoneal or intravenous injection at doses of 1–30 mg/kg. Endpoints include infarct volume, neurological scores, muscle histology, and calpain activity in tissues. Pharmacodynamic studies measure inhibition of calpain-mediated proteolysis. However, published in vivo data are limited, and the compound is mainly used in vitro.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of SJA6017 are not extensively reported. It has a molecular weight of 356.45 and a molecular formula of C17H25FN2O4S. It is soluble in DMSO and has good cell permeability. For storage, it should be kept at -20°C as a powder. In solvent, store at -80°C. Its peptide aldehyde nature may confer moderate stability in biological fluids. Further PK studies (half-life, bioavailability, tissue distribution) are needed for in vivo applications.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for SJA6017 are limited. As a calpain inhibitor, it may affect normal cellular functions, but its selectivity and reversible nature may reduce off-target toxicity. It is for research use only and not for human therapeutic applications. Standard safety precautions should be followed. For detailed toxicity, consult safety data sheets. High doses may cause cytotoxicity in some cell types, so appropriate concentrations must be determined empirically.
