RO 5459072 (RG-7625) is a potent, highly selective of cathepsin S with IC50 of 0.1 nM and 0.3 nM for human and murine Cathepsin S, respectively; shows no sub-micro molar inhibition against others cathepsins (Cat L, B, K, and F) with the exception of Cat V (IC50=700  nM); dose-dependently reverses aberrant systemic autoimmunity, e.g. plasma cytokines, activation of myeloid cells and hypergammaglobulinemia, especially suppresses IgG autoantibody production.
