| Targets |
CFTR activator 2 targets the mutant cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (mutant-CFTR), a chloride channel protein. CFTR is a member of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter family. Mutations in the CFTR gene, such as deltaF508 (the most common mutation), lead to misfolding, impaired trafficking, and/or reduced channel gating, resulting in cystic fibrosis. CFTR activator 2 (WAY-326769) is a small molecule activator that enhances the activity of mutant-CFTR, particularly by increasing channel gating (open probability). It improves chloride transport across the apical membrane of epithelial cells, thereby reducing the symptoms of CF.

| ln Vitro |
In vitro, CFTR activator 2 (WAY-326769) is an activator of mutant cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (mutant-CFTR). It enhances the chloride channel activity of CFTR mutants, including deltaF508-CFTR, in cell-based assays. The compound increases the open probability of the channel, restoring chloride transport in CF airway epithelial cells. Specific EC₅0 values are not provided. The compound is a research tool for studying CFTR biology and for developing CFTR modulator therapies.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, CFTR activator 2 is a research-grade compound and is not an approved drug. It is used to study the effects of CFTR activation in animal models of cystic fibrosis, such as CFTR-/- mice or mice expressing the deltaF508 mutation. The compound can be administered orally or intraperitoneally to assess its effects on CFTR function and disease pathology. No specific in vivo efficacy data is provided.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
The in vitro CFTR chloride channel activity can be measured by patch-clamp electrophysiology or by using a fluorescent membrane potential dye. CFTR-expressing cells (e.g., CHO, BHK, or primary airway epithelial cells) are seeded in 96-well black plates (2×10⁴ cells/well). They are pre-incubated with CFTR activator 2 (0.1-100 uM) for 5-30 min at 37degC. A membrane potential-sensitive dye (e.g., bis-oxonol, FLIPR Membrane Potential dye) is added, and fluorescence is measured at λex 530 nm, λem 570 nm. Forskolin (10-20 uM) is used as a positive control. The change in fluorescence upon addition of an iodide gradient reflects CFTR activity. EC₅0 is calculated.
|
| Cell Assay |
For cell-based assays, Fisher rat thyroid (FRT) cells stably expressing deltaF508-CFTR are seeded in 96-well plates (2×10⁴ cells/well). Cells are grown for 48 h, then incubated at 27degC for 24-48 h to rescue deltaF508-CFTR to the plasma membrane. CFTR activator 2 (0.1-100 uM) is added for 15-60 min. CFTR-mediated chloride transport is measured using a halide-sensitive fluorescent dye (MQAE or YFP-H148Q/I152L). The increase in fluorescence upon iodide (I-) addition is measured. The EC₅0 is calculated. Cytotoxicity is assessed by MTT assay.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo efficacy can be evaluated in a mouse model of cystic fibrosis. CFTR-/- mice or mice expressing the deltaF508 mutation (e.g., CFTRdeltaF508/deltaF508) are used. CFTR activator 2 is formulated in 10% DMSO + 5% Tween 80 + 85% saline or in 0.5% methylcellulose and administered orally (PO) at doses of 10-100 mg/kg once daily for 14-28 days. Control groups receive vehicle alone. Intestinal potential difference (PD) is measured as a readout of CFTR function. Sweat chloride levels are measured by pilocarpine iontophoresis. The compound is expected to normalize intestinal PD and reduce sweat chloride levels.
