MIV-711, a highly selective cathepsin K inhibitor: safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of multiple oral doses in healthy postmenopausal women

Grabowska Urszula , Lindstrom Erik , Jerling Markus , Edenius Charlotte

Introduction: Cathepsin K is necessary for bone matrix resorption. Excessive resorption associated with osteoporosis and osteoarthritis can be reduced by cathepsin K inhibition. MIV-711, a highly selective cathepsin K inhibitor, successfully attenuates both bone resorption and cartilage degradation in non-clinical studies.Aim: To determine safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of MIV-711 during multiple oral dosing to postmenopausal...

RANKL induced osteoclastogenesis is mediated by several transcription factors such as NF-κB, AP-1 and Nfatc1. We have found that also cysteine proteinases are involved in the signaling pathway downstream RANK. Thus, cystatin C, Z-RLVG-CHN2 (the sequence of which is based upon one of the enzyme inhibitory domains in cystatin C) and the fungal molecule E-64 – inhibit RANKL induced mouse and human osteoclast formation in vitro (Strålberg et ...

Aim: To determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the cathepsin K inhibitor MIV-711.Methods: A double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study in 27 healthy subjects of both genders. Single ascending doses 20–600 mg were investigated for adverse events, clinical chemistry, vital signs, ECG parameters, pharmacokinetics, and serum levels of CTX-I.Results: MIV-711 was well tolerated with no a...
