Biological Activity of NS 304

DescriptionSelective prostacyclin IP1 receptor agonist (Ki values are 260 and 2100 nM and for human and rat IP receptors, and >10 μM for EP1-4, DP, FP, and TP receptors). Prodrug for the active form of MRE 26. Ameliorates vascular endothelial dysfunction and increases femoral skin blood flow in rats. Orally available.

Protocol

Cell Assay [1]
CHO cells expressing the human IP receptor (hIP-CHO cells) are seeded at 1×105 cells/well in a 24-well plate and cultured for 48 h. The cells are washed with Dulbecco's phosphate-buffered saline without divalent cations, preincubated in the medium for 1 h at 37°C, and then incubated for 15 min at 37°C with medium containing each drug in the presence of 500 μM 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine. The medium is removed, and perchloric acid solution is added to terminate the reaction. Intracellular cAMP levels are measured by enzymelinked immunosorbent assay[1].

Animal Administration [1]
Mice[1] Male Sprague-Dawley rats, cynomolgus monkeys, and male beagle dogs are used. S-304 is orally administered to rats at 10 mg/kg and to dogs at 3 mg/kg, and blood samples are collected at various times and centrifuged to obtain plasma. The plasma concentrations of NS-304 and MRE-269 after oral administration of NS-304 to each animal are determined by high performance liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC/MS), and their pharmacokinetic parameters are calculated.Rats are orally administered NS-304 at 3 mg/kg twice daily for 1, 2, 3, or 4 weeks as a pretreatment. On the day after the final administration in the pretreatment, rats are anesthetized with urethane, and the FSBF is measured with a laser Doppler flowmeter after intraduodenal administration of NS-304 at 3 mg/kg.

Background on NS 304

NS-304 is an orally available and potent agonist for the Prostacyclin (PGI2) receptor (IP receptor).

In Vitro:NS-304 is an orally available and long-acting IP receptor agonist prodrug, and its active form, MRE-269, is highly selective for the IP receptor. NS-304 inhibits the binding of [3H]Iloprost to the human and rat IP receptors in a concentration-dependent manner. The Ki is 260 nM for the human IP receptor and 2100 nM for the rat IP receptor. The intracellular cAMP levels in hIP-CHO cells are increased in a concentration-dependent manner by treatment with NS-304 with EC50 of 177nM. NS-304 also inhibits platelet aggregation in humans and monkeys with IC50 values of 5.5 and 3.4 μM, respectively, but it shows no inhibition in dogs (IC50 of >100 μM)[1].

In Vivo:The Cmax of MRE-269 after oral administration of NS-304 is 1.1 μg/mL in rats and 9.0 μg/mL in dogs. NS-304 at 1 or 3 mg/kg increases FSBF in anesthetized rats for more than 4 h after intraduodenal administration in a dose-dependent manner. In particular, NS-304 at 3 mg/kg causes a sustained increase in FSBF and exhibits a maximal increase of 93% in FSBF 1 h after administration[1].

A long-acting and highly selective prostacyclin receptor agonist prodrug, 2-{4-[(5,6-diphenylpyrazin-2-yl)(isopropyl)amino]butoxy}-N-(methylsulfonyl)acetam ide (NS-304), ameliorates rat pulmonary hypertension with unique relaxant responses of its active form, {4-[(5,6-diphenylpyrazin-2-yl)(isopropyl)amino]butoxy}acetic acid (MRE-269), on rat pulmonary artery.[Pubmed:18552131]

J Pharmacol Exp Ther. 2008 Sep;326(3):691-9.

2-{4-[(5,6-Diphenylpyrazin-2-yl)(isopropyl)amino]butoxy}-N-(methylsulfonyl)acetam ide (NS-304) is an orally available, long-acting nonprostanoid prostacyclin receptor (IP receptor) agonist prodrug. In a rat model of pulmonary hypertension induced by monocrotaline (MCT), NS-304 ameliorated vascular endothelial dysfunction, pulmonary arterial wall hypertrophy, and right ventricular hypertrophy, and it elevated right ventricular systolic pressure and improved survival. {4-[(5,6-Diphenylpyrazin-2-yl)(isopropyl)amino]butoxy}acetic acid (MRE-269), the active form of NS-304, is much more selective for the IP receptor than are the prostacyclin analogs beraprost and iloprost, which also have high affinity for the EP(3) receptor. To investigate the effect of receptor selectivity on vasodilation of the pulmonary artery, we assessed the relaxant response to these IP agonists in rats. MRE-269 induced vasodilation equally in large pulmonary arteries (LPA) and small pulmonary arteries (SPA), whereas beraprost and iloprost induced less vasodilation in SPA than in LPA. An EP(3) agonist, sulprostone, induced SPA and LPA vasoconstriction, and an EP(3) antagonist attenuated the vasoconstriction. Beraprost showed EP(3) agonism and induced LPA and SPA vasoconstriction, whereas the EP(3) antagonist inhibited this vasoconstriction and enhanced beraprost- and iloprost-induced SPA vasodilation. These findings suggest that the EP(3) agonism of beraprost and iloprost interfered with the SPA vasodilation resulting from their IP receptor agonism. Endothelium removal markedly attenuated the vasodilation induced by beraprost, but not that induced by MRE-269 or iloprost. Moreover, the vasodilation induced by beraprost and iloprost, but not that induced by MRE-269, was more strongly attenuated in LPA from MCT-treated rats than from normal rats. NS-304 is a promising alternative medication for pulmonary arterial hypertension with prospects for good patient compliance.

A comparison of vasodilation mode among selexipag (NS-304; [2-{4-[(5,6-diphenylpyrazin-2-yl)(isopropyl)amino]butoxy}-N-(methylsulfonyl)aceta mide]), its active metabolite MRE-269 and various prostacyclin receptor agonists in rat, porcine and human pulmonary arteries.[Pubmed:27919660]

Eur J Pharmacol. 2017 Jan 15;795:75-83.

Selexipag (NS-304; [2-{4-[(5,6-diphenylpyrazin-2-yl)(isopropyl)amino]butoxy}-N- (methylsulfonyl)acetamide]) is a novel, orally available non-prostanoid prostacyclin receptor (IP receptor) agonist that has recently been approved for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). We examined the effect of the active metabolite of selexipag, MRE-269, and IP receptor agonists that are currently available as PAH therapeutic drugs on the relaxation of rat, porcine and human pulmonary artery. cAMP formation in human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells was induced by all test compounds (MRE-269, epoprostenol, iloprost, treprostinil and beraprost sodium) and suppressed by IP receptor antagonists (CAY10441 and 2-[4-(1H-indol-4-yloxymethyl)-benzyloxycarbonylamino]-3-phenyl-propionic acid). MRE-269 induced endothelium-independent vasodilation of rat extralobar pulmonary artery (EPA). In contrast, endothelial denudation or the addition of a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor markedly attenuated the vasodilation of EPA induced by epoprostenol, treprostinil and beraprost sodium but not iloprost. The vasorelaxant effects of MRE-269 on rat small intralobar pulmonary artery (SIPA) and EPA were the same, while the other IP receptor agonists induced less vasodilation in SIPA than in EPA. Furthermore, a prostaglandin E receptor 3 antagonist enhanced the vasodilation induced by all IP receptor agonists tested except MRE-269. We also investigated the relaxation induced by IP receptor agonists in pulmonary arteries from non-rodent species and found similar vasodilation modes in porcine and human as in rat preparations. These results suggest that MRE-269, in contrast to other IP receptor agonists, works as a selective IP receptor agonist, thus leading to pronounced vasorelaxation of rat, porcine and human pulmonary artery.

2-[4-[(5,6-diphenylpyrazin-2-yl)(isopropyl)amino]butoxy]-N-(methylsulfonyl)acetam ide (NS-304), an orally available and long-acting prostacyclin receptor agonist prodrug.[Pubmed:17545310]

J Pharmacol Exp Ther. 2007 Sep;322(3):1181-8.

Prostacyclin (PGI(2)) and its analogs are useful for the treatment of various vascular disorders, but their half-lives are too short for widespread clinical application. To overcome this drawback, we have synthesized a novel diphenylpyrazine derivative, 2-[4-[(5,6-diphenylpyrazin-2-yl)(isopropyl)amino]butoxy]-N-(methylsulfonyl)acetam ide (NS-304), a prodrug of the active form [4-[(5,6-diphenylpyrazin-2-yl)(isopropyl)amino]butoxy]acetic acid (MRE-269). NS-304 is an orally available and potent agonist for the PGI(2) receptor (IP receptor). The inhibition constant (K(i)) of MRE-269 for the human IP receptor was 20 nM; in contrast, the K(i) values for other prostanoid receptors were >2.6 microM. MRE-269 was therefore a highly selective agonist for the IP receptor. The plasma concentrations of MRE-269 remained near peak levels for more than 8 h after oral administration of NS-304 to rats and dogs, and NS-304 increased femoral skin blood flow in rats in a long-lasting manner without affecting the hemodynamics. These findings indicate that NS-304 acts as a long-acting IP receptor agonist in vivo. The continuous vasodilation evoked by NS-304 was not attenuated by repeated treatment, indicating that NS-304 is unlikely to cause severe desensitization of the IP receptor in rats. Moreover, a microdose pharmacokinetic study in which NS-304 was orally administered to healthy male volunteers showed conversion of NS-304 to MRE-269 and a long plasma elimination half-life for MRE-269 (7.9 h). In conclusion, NS-304 is an orally available and long-acting IP receptor agonist prodrug, and its active form, MRE-269, is highly selective for the IP receptor. Therefore, NS-304 is a promising drug candidate for various vascular diseases, especially pulmonary arterial hypertension and arteriosclerosis obliterans.

Selexipag: a selective prostacyclin receptor agonist that does not affect rat gastric function.[Pubmed:20660124]

J Pharmacol Exp Ther. 2010 Oct;335(1):249-55.

Selexipag [2-{4-[(5,6-diphenylpyrazin-2-yl)(isopropyl)amino]butoxy}-N-(methylsulfonyl)aceta mide] is an orally available prostacyclin (PGI(2)) receptor (IP receptor) agonist that is chemically distinct from PGI(2) and is in clinical development for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension. Selexipag is highly selective for the human IP receptor in vitro, whereas analogs of PGI(2) can activate prostanoid receptors other than the IP receptor. The goal of this study was to determine the impact of selectivity for the IP receptor on gastric function by measuring 1) contraction of rat gastric fundus ex vivo and 2) the rates of gastric emptying and intestinal transport in response to selexipag in comparison with other PGI(2) analogs. The rat gastric fundus expresses mRNA encoding multiple prostanoid receptors to different levels: prostaglandin E receptor 1 (EP(1)) > prostaglandin E receptor 3 (EP(3)), IP receptor > prostaglandin D(2) receptor 1, thromboxane receptor. Selexipag and metabolite {4-[(5,6-diphenylpyrazin-2-yl)(isopropyl)amino]butoxy}acetic acid (ACT-333679) did not contract gastric fundus at concentrations up to 10(-3) M. In contrast, the PGI(2) analogs iloprost and beraprost evoked concentration-dependent contraction of gastric fundus. Contraction to treprostinil was observed at high concentration (10(-4) M). Contraction to all PGI(2) analogs was mediated via activation of EP(3) receptors, although EP(1) receptors also contributed to the contraction of gastric fundus to iloprost and beraprost. Antagonism of IP receptors did not affect responses. Oral selexipag did not significantly alter gastric function in vivo, as measured by rates of stomach emptying and intestinal transport, whereas beraprost slowed gastrointestinal transport. The high functional selectivity of selexipag and ACT-333679 for the IP receptor precludes a stimulatory action on gastric smooth muscle and may help minimize gastric side effects such as nausea and vomiting.
