E-64 (N-[N-(L-3-trans-carboxyoxiran-2-carbonyl)-L-leucyl]-agmatine) is a specific thiol proteinase inhibitor which inhibits lysosomal cathepsins B and L in vitro and in vivo E-64 administered in vivo penetrates into lysosomes of the liver, possibly by permeation rather than by endocytosis. When [3H]E-64 was injected into rats i.p., high radioactivity was observed in the serum after a short time and it decreased rapidly. Incorporation of [3H]E-64 into the cytosol fraction of liver also began to decrease 1 h after the injection. Radioactivity in the mitochondrial-lysosomal fraction increased to a maximum after 6 h and then gradually decreased until 72 h. Dose-dependent incorporation of [3H]E-64 into the serum and liver cytosol was observed at all doses tested, but that into the lysosomal fraction increased linearly with doses of only up to 0.5 mg/100 body weight of E-64. E-64 in the serum and liver cytosol was mostly present in the free form, whereas that in the lysosomal fraction was mostly protein-bound. The time course and dose-response of lysosomal cathepsin B activity to E-64 were closely related to the radioactivity in the protein-bound fraction of the lysosomes. E-64 was probably transported to the liver cytosol in the free form in the blood and permeated into the lysosomes, where it bound to, and inactivated, E-64 sensitive proteinases.
