Relacatib (SB-462795) is a novel, potent, and orally active inhibitor of human cathepsins K, L, and V. It exhibits high affinity for these enzymes, with Ki values of 41 pM, 68 pM, and 53 pM, respectively. Moreover, Relacatib effectively inhibits endogenous cathepsin K in situ in human osteoclasts, as well as human osteoclast-mediated bone resorption, with IC 50 values of 45 nM and 70 nM, respectively. Additionally, in vitro studies demonstrate Relacatib's inhibitory effect on bone resorption in human tissue, while in vivo studies on cynomolgus monkeys further validate its efficacy in reducing bone resorption.
DPC-AJ1951 is a peptide agonist of the parathyroid hormone (PTH) PTH-related peptide receptor (PPR; EC50 = 0.15 nM in HEK293 cells expressing human PPR). It induces cAMP production in SAOS-2 and UMR106 cells that endogenously express human and rat PPR, respectively (EC50s = 2.2 and 1.1 nM, respectively). DPC-AJ1915 stimulates osteoclast-mediated bone resorption in fetal rat long-bone explant cultures and increases collagen synthesis and cell proliferation in neonatal mouse parietal bone explants. In vivo, DPC-AJ1951 normalizes serum calcium levels in thyroidparathyroidectomized rats.
Kahweol Eicosanate is a semi-syntetic derivative of kahweol. Kahweol Eicosanate exhibits a wide variety of biological activities, including inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in oral squamous cell carcinoma cells, inhibiting RANKL-induced osteoclast
