Effects of FUT-175, a new protease inhibitor, on intravascular hemolysis of mouse erythrocytes caused by intravenous injection of human serum was studied in mice. In in vitro experiments, unsensitized erythrocytes obtained from various species of animals were lysed with sera in EGTA-GVB-Mg++. After heat inactivation of sera at 50 degrees C for 30 min, hemolysis in EGTA-GVB-Mg++ was abolished, indicating loss of activity of the alternative complement pathway. FUT-175 inhibited the alternative complement pathway-mediated hemolysis with IC50 values of 1.3 X 10(-7) to 4.0 X 10(-7) M. Intravenous injection of human serum caused intravascular hemolysis of mouse erythrocytes in mice. No remarkable change was observed in the mice that were injected with heat-inactivated (56 degrees C, 30 min) human serum. Intravenous administration of FUT-175 at a dose of 3 or 10 mg/kg inhibited intravascular hemolysis of mouse erythrocytes regardless of whether it was administered before or after injection of human serum. These results indicated that FUT-175 prevents intravascular hemolysis of mouse erythrocytes through the inhibitory effect of both alternative and classical complement pathway.
