LNP023 hydrochloride 是一种有效的，具有口服活性的高选择性的 factor B 抑制剂。LNP023 直接可逆且高亲和力结合 factor B，KD为 7.9 nM。LNP023 抑制 factor B 的 IC50 值为 10 nM。
LNP023 hydrochloride is an orally bioavailable, highly potent and highly selective factor B inhibitor. LNP023 shows direct, reversible, and high-affinity binding to human factor B with a KD of 7.9 nM. LNP023 inhibits factor B with an IC50 value of 10 nM[1][2].
LNP023 demonstrates potent inhibition of alternative complement pathway (AP)-induced membrane attack complex (MAC) formation in 50% human serum (IC50 value of 130 nM)[2].LNP023 exhibits excellent selectivity over other proteases affording IC50 values of >30 μM across a panel of 41 human proteases, including the AP protein factor D (>100 μM)[3].
LNP023 (20-180 mg/kg; oral administration) prevents KRN (150 μL)-induced arthritis in mice and is effective upon prophylactic and therapeutic dosing in an experimental model of membranous nephropathy in rats[2]. LNP023 exhibits moderate half-lives (T1/2; Wistar Han rats 3.4 h, beagle dogs 5.5 h) and Cmax (Wistar Han rats 410 nM, beagle dogs 2200 nM) following oral administration (rat 30 and, dog 10 mg/kg)[3]. LNP023 exhibits terminal elimination half-lives (T1/2; Wistar Han rats 7 h, beagle dogs 5.6 h) due to high plasma clearance (8, and 2 mL/min/kg respectively combined with large volumes of distribution (2.3, and 0.6 L/kg respectively) following intravenous administration (rat 1.0 and, dog 0.1 mg/kg)[3].
