LY 3000328(CAT: I001435) is a novel inhibitor of Cathepsin S, an enzyme involved in antigen processing and presentation. It is predominantly expressed in antigen-presenting cells and plays a role in invariant chain processing and MHCII antigen presentation, which leads to CD4+ T-cell activation. By inhibiting Cathepsin S, LY 3000328 blocks MHCII antigen presentation, potentially resulting in a T-cell-selective immunosuppressant agent. This could offer an improved safety profile compared to existing treatments for autoimmune-based inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and multiple sclerosis.
