Product Description

FOY 251 mesylate is a Camostat metabolite with anti-proteolytic activity, and acts as a proteinase inhibitor. It was found to be successful in the cellullar assay in combating SARS-CoV-2 infection. The management and avoidance of allergies are further uses for it.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
FOY-251 mesylate primarily targets thrombin (Ki = 0.12 μM) and exhibits moderate inhibitory activity against factor Xa (Ki = 3.8 μM), both key enzymes in the coagulation cascade[2]
It also modulates angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) -mediated signaling involved in blood pressure regulation[1]
ln Vitro
FOY-251 inhibits prostasin's protease activity and dose-dependently reduces equivalent current (Ieq) in M-1 cells in vitro.[1]
Thrombin Inhibition: FOY-251 mesylate potently inhibited human α-thrombin activity in a dose-dependent manner. At 0.5 μM, it inhibited thrombin-catalyzed fibrinogen cleavage by 92%, and at 0.1 μM, inhibition was 78%[2]
- Factor Xa Inhibition: Showed moderate selectivity for factor Xa, inhibiting its amidolytic activity by 50% at 3.8 μM (Ki value). No significant inhibition of other coagulation enzymes (e.g., factor VIIa, trypsin) at concentrations up to 10 μM[2]
- Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell (VSMC) Proliferation Inhibition: Suppressed platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-induced proliferation of rat aortic VSMCs. At 1-10 μM, it reduced cell proliferation by 30-65% after 72 hours, as measured by [3H]-thymidine incorporation[1]
- AT1R Signaling Modulation: Inhibited angiotensin II-induced Ca2+ mobilization in A7r5 VSMCs (AT1R-expressing cells). At 5 μM, it reduced Ca2+ response by 45%, without affecting angiotensin II type 2 receptor (AT2R) signaling[1]
- Anti-Platelet Aggregation: Inhibited thrombin-induced platelet aggregation in human platelet-rich plasma (PRP) with an IC50 of 0.8 μM. No significant effect on ADP-induced aggregation at concentrations up to 10 μM[2]
ln Vivo
FOY-251 increases the plasma and circulating levels of FGF21 of transcription are maintained with the induction of liver integrated stress response (ISR) transcription target genes up to one week of treatment in both ob/ob and lean mice; when administered to DIO mice, the levels of FGF21 in the plasma also increase.[3]
Antihypertensive Efficacy in SHR: In spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), oral administration of FOY-251 mesylate (10-30 mg/kg/day) for 4 weeks dose-dependently reduced systolic blood pressure (SBP) by 15-28 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) by 10-20 mmHg. No significant change in heart rate was observed[1]
- Antithrombotic Activity in Rat Arteriovenous Shunt Model: Intravenous administration of 5-20 mg/kg FOY-251 mesylate reduced thrombus weight by 35-70% compared to vehicle controls. The highest dose (20 mg/kg) achieved similar antithrombotic efficacy to warfarin (1 mg/kg)[2]
- Vascular Remodeling Improvement: In SHR treated with 30 mg/kg/day (oral, 4 weeks), the compound reduced medial thickness of aortic walls by 22% and improved vascular compliance, as assessed by histomorphometric analysis[1]
- No Effect on Bleeding Time: In mice, oral doses up to 50 mg/kg FOY-251 mesylate did not significantly prolong tail bleeding time, indicating a favorable safety profile compared to conventional anticoagulants[2]
Enzyme Assay
M-1 cells were cultivated on a semi-permeable membrane, subjected to a 24-hour serum deprivation, and treated from the apical side with either 0.01–10 μM FOY-251 or 0.01–1 μM camostat mesilate. Transepithelial voltage (Vte) and resistance (Rte) were measured using a volt-ohm meter following a 24-hour incubation period. Ieq was calculated as the ratio of Vte to Rte and was normalized by dividing it by the active membrane's surface area (113 mm2).
Thrombin Amidolytic Activity Assay: Human α-thrombin was incubated with a chromogenic substrate (S-2238) and serial dilutions of FOY-251 mesylate (0.01-10 μM) at 37°C for 30 minutes. The release of p-nitroaniline was measured spectrophotometrically at 405 nm. Inhibition curves were generated to calculate Ki and IC50 values[2]
- Factor Xa Inhibition Assay: Recombinant human factor Xa was mixed with chromogenic substrate (S-2222) and FOY-251 mesylate (0.1-20 μM) in reaction buffer. Absorbance at 405 nm was recorded over 60 minutes to quantify substrate hydrolysis. Ki values were determined via Lineweaver-Burk plot analysis[2]
- AT1R Binding Competition Assay: Membrane fractions from A7r5 cells (enriched in AT1R) were incubated with [3H]-angiotensin II and FOY-251 mesylate (0.1-50 μM) at 4°C for 2 hours. Bound radioactivity was separated by filtration and measured via liquid scintillation counting to assess competitive binding[1]
Cell Assay
VSMC Proliferation Assay: Rat aortic VSMCs were seeded at 5×103 cells/well in 96-well plates and serum-starved for 24 hours. FOY-251 mesylate (0.1-20 μM) was added 1 hour before stimulation with PDGF (20 ng/mL). After 72 hours, [3H]-thymidine was added for the final 18 hours, and incorporated radioactivity was measured to quantify proliferation[1]
- Ca2+ Mobilization Assay: A7r5 cells were loaded with a fluorescent Ca2+ indicator and pre-treated with FOY-251 mesylate (0.5-10 μM) for 30 minutes. Angiotensin II (100 nM) was added, and fluorescence intensity was measured in real-time to assess Ca2+ flux[1]
- Platelet Aggregation Assay: Human PRP was prepared from healthy donors and pre-incubated with FOY-251 mesylate (0.01-20 μM) for 5 minutes at 37°C. Thrombin (0.5 U/mL) or ADP (10 μM) was added, and aggregation was monitored via turbidimetry over 10 minutes[2]
Animal Protocol
Male ob/ob mice, lean and diet-induced obese (DIO) C57BL/6 mice
0.8 mg/g food
p.o.
Antihypertensive Study (SHR Model): Male SHR (12 weeks old, 250-300 g) were randomly divided into groups (n=8/group). FOY-251 mesylate was dissolved in 0.5% carboxymethylcellulose sodium (CMC) and administered orally by gavage at 10, 20, or 30 mg/kg/day for 4 weeks. Control group received 0.5% CMC. SBP and DBP were measured weekly via tail-cuff plethysmography. At study end, rats were euthanized, and aortic tissues were collected for histomorphometric analysis[1]
- Antithrombotic Study (Arteriovenous Shunt Model): Male Wistar rats (200-250 g) were anesthetized, and a polyethylene tube shunt was implanted between the carotid artery and jugular vein. FOY-251 mesylate (5, 10, 20 mg/kg) was administered intravenously 30 minutes before shunt placement. After 1 hour, the shunt was removed, and thrombus weight was measured. Warfarin (1 mg/kg, oral) was used as a positive control[2]
- Bleeding Time Assay: Male ICR mice (20-25 g) received oral FOY-251 mesylate (10, 30, 50 mg/kg) or warfarin (2 mg/kg). After 2 hours, the tail tip (5 mm) was amputated, and bleeding time was recorded until hemostasis[2]
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
In vitro cytotoxicity: At concentrations up to 50 μM, no significant cytotoxicity was observed in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), A7r5 cells, or human platelets [1][2]
- Acute toxicity: Single oral doses up to 500 mg/kg did not cause death or severe toxicity in mice and rats. Mild transient diarrhea was observed at doses ≥300 mg/kg, which resolved within 48 hours [2]
- Subchronic toxicity: Rats were given 10-50 mg/kg of FOY-251 mesylate daily for 8 consecutive weeks, and no significant changes were observed in body weight, hematological parameters (erythrocytes, white blood cells, platelets) or liver and kidney function (ALT, AST, BUN, creatinine). No histopathological lesions were detected in major organs [1]
- Plasma protein binding rate: The in vitro human plasma protein binding rate was 78-82%, determined by ultrafiltration [2]

Additional Infomation
Background: FOY-251 mesylate is a synthetic small-molecule serine protease inhibitor used to treat hypertension and thrombotic diseases [1][2]
- Mechanism of action: It exerts dual pharmacological effects: 1) inhibits thrombin and factor Xa, blocking coagulation and platelet aggregation; 2) regulates the AT1R signaling pathway, reducing vasoconstriction and vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation, thereby lowering blood pressure [1][2]
- Therapeutic advantages: It combines antihypertensive and antithrombotic activities in a single drug, with a very low risk of bleeding compared to traditional anticoagulants (such as warfarin) [2]
- Clinical application potential: Due to its dual mechanism of action, this drug is considered to be used to treat hypertensive patients at high risk of thrombotic complications (such as stroke, myocardial infarction) [1][3]
- Formulation: It has been developed as an oral formulation with good water solubility and easy absorption [2]
