Odanacatib (MK-0822) is an orally active inhibitor of cathepsin K. Odanacatib reduces bone resorption by inhibiting cathepsin K in osteoclasts, while relatively preserving bone formation[1-2]. Odanacatib can be used for the treatment and related research of osteoporosis[3-4].
In vitro, Odanacatib (2μM) was used to treat human renal carcinoma Caki cells for 6-24 hours, followed by co-treatment with TRAIL (50ng/ml). Odanacatib significantly induced cell apoptosis and c-PARP cleavage, while enhancing the sensitivity of cancer cells to anticancer drugs[5]. Odanacatib alone (2-10μM) or in combination with a low dose of oxaliplatin (25μM) was used to treat human renal carcinoma Caki-1, ACHN cells, glioma U87MG cells, and breast cancer MCF7 cells for 24-48 hours. Odanacatib significantly induced apoptosis (increased sub-G1 phase cells) and PARP cleavage, while upregulating the expression of the pro-apoptotic protein Bax[6].
In vivo, Odanacatib (3.606mg/kg/week) was administered orally to male BALB/cJ mice, starting one week before establishing a periapical disease model and continuing for 6 weeks. Odanacatib significantly inhibited bone resorption in the lesion area, while reducing the infiltration of macrophages and T cells, as well as the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and Toll-like receptors[7]. In a collagen-induced arthritis model, Odanacatib (10mg/kg/day) was orally administered to female DBA/1 mice, starting on day 27 after disease induction and continuing for 21 days. Odanacatib significantly reduced serum markers of bone and cartilage degradation (CTX I and CTX II)[8].

Odanacatib (MK-0822)是一种具有口服活性的组织蛋白酶K(Cathepsin K)抑制剂。Odanacatib可通过抑制破骨细胞中的组织蛋白酶K来减少骨吸收,同时相对保留骨形成[1-2]。Odanacatib可用于骨质疏松症的治疗和相关研究[3-4]。
在体外,Odanacatib(2μM)处理人肾癌Caki细胞6-24小时,随后与TRAIL(50ng/ml)联合处理。Odanacatib显著诱导细胞凋亡和c-PARP切割,同时增强癌细胞对抗癌药物的敏感性[5]。Odanacatib单独处理(2-10μM)或与低剂量奥沙利铂(25μM)联合处理人肾癌Caki-1、ACHN细胞、胶质瘤U87MG细胞及乳腺癌MCF7细胞24-48小时。Odanacatib显著诱导细胞凋亡(亚G1期细胞增多)和PARP切割,同时上调促凋亡蛋白Bax的表达[6]。
在体内,Odanacatib(3.606mg/kg/week)经口腔给药处理雄性BALB/cJ小鼠,从建立根尖周病模型前1周开始给药直至6周。Odanacatib显著抑制了病变区域的骨吸收,同时减少了巨噬细胞和T细胞的浸润以及促炎细胞因子和Toll样受体的表达[7]。Odanacatib(10mg/kg/day)经口给药处理胶原诱导的关节炎模型雌性DBA/1小鼠,从疾病诱导后第27天开始给药,持续21天。Odanacatib显著减少了骨和软骨降解的血清标志物(CTX I和CTX II)[8]。
