Clinical and translational pharmacology of the cathepsin K inhibitor odanacatib studied for osteoporosis. [PDF]
Cathepsin K (CatK) is a cysteine protease abundantly expressed by osteoclasts and localized in the lysosomes and resorption lacunae of these cells. CatK is the principal enzyme responsible for the degradation of bone collagen.

Treatment with an inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase 9 or cathepsin K lengthens embryonic lower jaw bone. [PDF]
Abstract Objectives Skeletal malocclusions are common, and severe malocclusions are treated by invasive surgeries. Recently, jaw bone length has been shown to be developmentally controlled by osteoclasts. Our objective was to determine the effect of inhibiting osteoclast‐secreted proteolytic enzymes on lower jaw bone length of avian embryos by ...

Emerging therapeutic strategies targeting bone signaling pathways in periodontitis. [PDF]
Anti‐resorptive, immunomodulatory, and emerging therapeutic approaches to treat periodontal disease and promote resolution of inflammation. Abstract Periodontitis is a multifactorial immune‐mediated disease exacerbated by dysregulated alveolar bone homeostasis. Timely intervention is crucial for disease management to prevent tooth loss. To successfully

We prospectively assessed, with predefined criteria, the location and rates of all femur fractures (hip, subtrochanteric/femoral shaft [ST/FS], including atypical [AFF] and distal fractures) in women at increased fracture risk during treatment with the ...

Merging metal and enzyme catalysis provides multiple solutions for the synthesis of optically active molecules. To achieve this aim, both catalyst types need to work under similar reaction conditions avoiding mutual inactivation. Herein, successful one‐pot sequential and concurrent cascades are described for the design of high‐yielding transformations ...

Development and Application of Reversible and Irreversible Covalent Probes for Human and Mouse Cathepsin-K Activity Detection, Revealing Nuclear Activity. [PDF]
Highly selective reversible‐ and irreversible covalent cathepsin K (CTSK) activity‐based probes are developed and applied to detect CTSK activity in human and mice samples, detecting changes in activity in pathological samples. These non‐toxic probes also enabled studying CTSK activation by pH changes, unique inhibition in cell lysates, and remarkable ...

Identification of mouse cathepsin K structural elements that regulate the potency of odanacatib.
Cathepsin K (CatK) is the predominant mammalian bone-degrading protease and thus an ideal target for antiosteoporotic drug development. Rodent models of osteoporosis are preferred due to their close reflection of the human disease and their ease of handling, genetic manipulation and economic affordability.
