Ki: 5.1±1.2 nM (rat GABAB), 1.4±0.3 μM (rat GABAA)[1] EC50: 8.6±0.77 nM (human GABAB receptor)[1]
GABA receptor type B. Lesogaberan is a potent and selective GABAB receptor agonist. It acts as a full agonist, primarily targeting peripheral GABAB receptors. In vitro, it has an EC50 of 8.6 nM for the human recombinant GABAB receptor. It shows negligible activity at the GABAA receptor. |

| ln Vitro |
Human islet cell proliferation is enhanced in vitro by leogaberan hydrochloride (3–30 nM)[2].
In vitro, Lesogaberan is a potent and selective full agonist of the GABAB receptor, with an EC50 of 8.6 nM for the human recombinant receptor. This high potency and selectivity for GABAB over GABAA is a defining characteristic of its in vitro pharmacological profile. |
| ln Vivo |
In dogs, lesogaberan hydrochloride shows a biphasic dose-response curve that potently activates recombinant human GABAB receptors and inhibits transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxation (TLESR)[1]. Apoptosis of human islet β-cells in islet grafts in mice is prevented by oral Lesogaberan hydrochloride (0.08 mg/mL; 48 hours)[2]. Sprague-Dawley female rats exhibit relatively low systemic clearance and high oral availability (88% in the dog and 100% in the rat) when given lesogaberan (7 μmol/kg) hydrochloride[1].
In vivo, Lesogaberan is developed as a peripherally acting GABAB receptor agonist. It potently inhibits transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxations (TLESRs), the primary mechanism behind gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It decreases the number of acid reflux events and improves acid exposure time in the distal esophagus. Lesogaberan does not readily penetrate the CNS, limiting sedative side effects. |
| Enzyme Assay |
The binding affinity (Ki) of Lesogaberan can be measured via a non-cellular competition assay. Rat brain membranes are incubated with [3H]GABA and varying concentrations of Lesogaberan. Separation of bound and free ligand by filtration allows for the calculation of Ki for the GABAB site, demonstrating its high affinity for the native receptor.

| Cell Assay |
Cell Proliferation Assay[2]
Cell Types: Human islet cells Tested Concentrations: 3, 10, and 30 nM Incubation Duration: 4 days Experimental Results: Had a small but nonsignificant promitotic effect at 3 nM, while treatment at higher dosages (10 and 30 nM) led to a 2-3-fold increase in proliferation relative to that of islets cultured in medium alone. To confirm functional selectivity for GABAB over GABAA, a cellular assay can be performed. HEK-293 cells expressing the human GABAB receptor (GB1/GB2 heterodimer) are used for one assay, while cells expressing GABAA are used for another. Cells are loaded with a calcium-sensitive dye. Lesogaberan is applied, and the resulting fluorescence change (due to G-protein activation) is measured to determine EC50 at the B receptor. The lack of signal in GABAA cells confirms selectivity. |
| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Diabetic NOD/SCID (severe combined immunodeficient) mouse were implanted with human islets[2]
Doses: 0.08 mg/mL Route of Administration: 48 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: Dramatically decreased the percentages of apoptotic islet cells and increased the frequency of insulin+ β-cells in human islet grafts. Animal/Disease Models: Female Sprague Dawley rats[1] Doses: 7 μmol/kg (pharmacokinetic/PK Analysis) Route of Administration: Oral Experimental Results: High oral availability (88% in the dog and 100% in the rat) and relatively low systemic clearance. Plasma protein binding was 1% in rat and human plasma. A standard in vivo model for Lesogaberan is measuring TLESRs in dogs. Beagle dogs are surgically fitted with a gastric cannula and a manometric catheter to measure lower esophageal sphincter pressure. Lesogaberan is administered orally, and the number of TLESRs is counted over a period of 2-3 hours post-dose, comparing to vehicle and positive control (baclofen). |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
In humans, Lesogaberan is rapidly and extensively absorbed from the GI tract, with Cmax achieved within 1-2 hours of oral dosing. The terminal half-life is between 11 and 13 hours. Orally administered Lesogaberan has high bioavailability, and the majority of the dose is excreted by the kidneys either as parent compound or as metabolites.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
No detailed toxicology data is provided. A key feature of Lesogaberan is its reduced CNS side-effect profile. Because it is a peripherally restricted GABAB agonist due to active transport out of the CNS, it was developed to avoid the dose-limiting CNS side effects (e.g., sedation, confusion) seen with centrally penetrating GABAB agonists like baclofen.

| Additional Infomation |
Lesogaberan (AZD3355) was a clinical drug candidate developed by AstraZeneca as an add-on treatment to proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) for patients with GERD. The drug progressed into Phase II clinical trials but was ultimately discontinued, possibly due to a lack of sufficient efficacy despite a clean safety profile. It represents a classical case of a “peripheral restriction” drug design strategy.
