Product Description
Azelaprag (Example 263.0) is a candidate active molecule as an apelin receptor agonist (activator).
Azelaprag (AMG-986, CAS# 2049980-18-7) is a potent small-molecule agonist of the apelin receptor (APJ, also known as APLNR). It has an EC50 of 0.32 nM. Azelaprag inhibits forskolin-stimulated cAMP production (pEC50=9.64) and promotes Gα protein activation (pEC50=9.54). It can be used to treat nervous system and cardiovascular diseases, including heart failure.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Azelaprag targets the apelin receptor (APJ), a G protein-coupled receptor involved in cardiovascular regulation and other physiological processes. As an agonist, it activates the receptor, mimicking the effects of endogenous apelin peptides. This activation leads to the inhibition of cAMP production and the promotion of Gα protein activation, which are key downstream signaling events.
ln Vitro
In vitro, Azelaprag has been shown to be a potent agonist of the apelin receptor, with an EC50 of 0.32 nM. It effectively inhibits forskolin-stimulated cAMP production (pEC50=9.64) and promotes Gα protein activation (pEC50=9.54). These activities confirm its efficacy as a small-molecule agonist that can mimic the effects of endogenous peptide ligands.
ln Vivo
In a rescue-impaired renal model, zelaprag (AMG 986) (1 mg/kg/min, rapid intravenous infusion) improves cardiac reserve during dobutamine challenge [2]. Pharmacokinetic parameters of Azelaprag (AMG 986) in rats and dogs [2] Species CL (L/h/kg) VSS (L/kg) T1/2 (h) Oral F(%) Rat 0.78 (dog)[2]. Azelaprag (AMG 986) (0.5/1 mg/kg IV, 1/5 mg/kg wall) demonstrated intravenous T1/2 of 2.4 hours (stent) and 4.2 hours (dog). Wall bioavailability (F %) is 73% (stent) and 97% (dog). Dog 0.08 0.19 4.2 97 0.6 2.4 73
In vivo, Azelaprag (AMG 986) has been evaluated in animal models where it demonstrates cardiovascular effects similar to those of APJ activation. It has shown potential in heart failure research. The compound's ability to activate the apelin receptor in vivo supports its potential therapeutic applications in cardiovascular diseases.
Enzyme Assay
The activity of Azelaprag at the apelin receptor can be assessed using cell-based functional assays. In these assays, cells expressing the apelin receptor are treated with the compound, and downstream signaling is measured. For example, the inhibition of forskolin-stimulated cAMP production is measured using a cAMP assay kit. The EC50 for receptor activation is determined from dose-response curves.
Cell Assay
To evaluate the cellular activity of Azelaprag, cells expressing the apelin receptor are treated with the compound, and Gα protein activation is measured using techniques such as BRET or GTPγS binding assays. The compound's ability to promote Gα protein activation (pEC50=9.54) is quantified. The effects on other downstream signaling pathways can also be assessed.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: ZSF1 obese rat (19 weeks old), rat model with impaired metabolic function [2]
Doses: 1 mg/kg/min
Route of Administration: acute intravenous (iv) (iv)infusion
Experimental Results: Ejection fraction is increased, but not mean arterial pressure, in a rat model of impaired metabolic function.
In vivo studies of Azelaprag typically involve animal models of heart failure or other cardiovascular diseases. The compound is administered via oral or intravenous routes, and its effects on cardiac function, blood pressure, and other hemodynamic parameters are measured. The compound's pharmacokinetic profile and tolerability are also assessed in these models.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Azelaprag has a molecular weight of 523.61 and is soluble in DMSO (50 mg/mL). It is insoluble in water and ethanol. For in vivo studies, it can be formulated in 5% DMSO, 40% PEG300, 5% Tween 80, and 50% ddH2O, or in 5% DMSO and 95% corn oil.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Specific toxicology data for Azelaprag are not detailed in the available literature. However, as a compound that has been investigated in clinical trials (denoted by the AMG-986 code), it has undergone safety evaluations. In preclinical models, it has been shown to be well-tolerated.
