Balicatib is a potent and selective inhibitor of cathepsin K; 10-100-fold more potent in cell-based enzyme occupancy assays than against cathepsin B, L, and S. Balicatib is the most advanced of them passed Phase II clinical trials in 2005.
| Cell Experiment | |
|---|---|
| Cell lines | Hep G2 and SMMC-7721 cells |
| Preparation method | Cell viability assay. The 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5 diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay was used to measure drug sensitivity. Briefly, Hep G2 and SMMC-7721 cells were seeded into 96-well plates at a density of 5 × 103 cells per well, incubated overnight, and then treated with various concentrations (0, 10, 20, 40, and 80 μmol/L) of baicalin for 24, 48, and 72 h. Thereafter, 20 μl of MTT solution (5 mg/mL) was added to each well, and the plates were incubated at 37°C for 4 h. The formed formazan crystals were dissolved in 100 μl of DMSO after removal of the supernatant. The optical density (OD) was recorded at 490 nm using a microplate reader. The percentage of cell viability was calculated as: (OD of baicalin-treated group/OD of control group) × 100%. |
