Pyruvate kinase-R (PKR) (activator)
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In human red blood cells, etabopivit (20 μM, 4 h) can lower sickle point (PoS) and increase hemoglobin-oxygen affinity [1].
(Rac)-Etavopivat is an isomer of Etavopivat. Etavopivat is an orally active erythrocyte pyruvate kinase-R (PKR) activator. In vitro, Etavopivat activates PKR, leading to increased ATP levels and decreased 2,3-DPG levels in red blood cells. This shifts the oxygen dissociation curve to the left, increasing hemoglobin oxygen affinity and reducing sickling under hypoxic conditions. The racemate contains both active and inactive enantiomers; the specific enantiomer (the R-enantiomer or S-enantiomer) responsible for PKR activation is not specified for the racemate. For research purposes, the racemate may be used as a comparator to the pure active enantiomer. |
| ln Vivo |
Cynomolgus monkeys treated with etabopipate (oral, 3–22 mg/kg once daily for five days) showed increases in 2,3-DPG and ATP at 8 and 22 mg/kg, respectively [1].
No specific in vivo data for (Rac)-Etavopivat. The active enantiomer, Etavopivat (FT-4202), has been extensively studied in vivo. In preclinical models of sickle cell disease, Etavopivat reduces red blood cell sickling, improves red blood cell survival, decreases hemolysis, and reduces markers of inflammation and vaso-occlusion. In Phase 2 clinical trials, Etavopivat has shown efficacy in increasing hemoglobin levels, reducing markers of hemolysis, and improving patient-reported outcomes. (Rac)-Etavopivat would be expected to have reduced potency compared to the pure active enantiomer. |
| Enzyme Assay |
Recombinant human pyruvate kinase-R (PKR) enzyme is expressed in E. coli or insect cells and purified. The PKR activity assay measures the conversion of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) and ADP to pyruvate and ATP, coupled to NADH oxidation via lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). The reaction mixture contains Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.4), KCl, MgCl2, PEP (0.5-5 mM), ADP (0.5-5 mM), NADH (0.2-0.5 mM), and LDH. The reaction is initiated by adding PKR enzyme (10-50 ng). The decrease in absorbance at 340 nm (NADH oxidation) is monitored over 5-10 minutes at 37degC. The initial velocity (V0) is calculated. For activator screening, compounds are tested at varying concentrations (0.001-100 uM), and EC50 values are determined. Etavopivat is an activator, not an inhibitor, so the assay measures increased enzymatic activity. (Rac)-Etavopivat would be expected to activate PKR with an EC50 value approximately twice that of the pure active enantiomer. No specific EC50 is publicly available for the racemate.

| Cell Assay |
Human erythroblast cell lines (e.g., BEL-A or HUDEP-2) or primary human red blood cells are cultured in appropriate media. Cells are treated with (Rac)-Etavopivat (0.01-100 uM) for 24-72 hours. Red blood cell PKR activity is measured in cell lysates using the PKR activity assay described above. Intracellular ATP levels are measured using a bioluminescence assay (e.g., CellTiter-Glo). 2,3-DPG levels are measured by an enzymatic colorimetric assay (2,3-DPG assay kit). The ratio of ATP to 2,3-DPG is calculated. Hemoglobin oxygen affinity is measured using a Hemox Analyzer or by assessing the P50 value (partial pressure of oxygen at which hemoglobin is 50% saturated). For sickling assays, red blood cells from sickle cell disease patients are treated with (Rac)-Etavopivat (0.1-10 uM) and exposed to hypoxic conditions (e.g., 2% O2 or sodium metabisulfite). The percentage of sickled red blood cells is quantified by light microscopy. Cell viability is assessed by MTT or by counting cells with trypan blue. Apoptosis (Annexin V/PI staining) and red blood cell morphology are also assessed.

| Animal Protocol |
For in vivo studies of the active enantiomer Etavopivat, the compound is administered orally to rodent models of sickle cell disease (e.g., Berkeley SCD mice or Townes SCD mice). Doses typically range from 5-50 mg/kg once or twice daily for 2-8 weeks. Endpoints include red blood cell PKR activity (ex vivo assay), ATP and 2,3-DPG levels in red blood cells, complete blood count (CBC, with particular focus on hemoglobin, hematocrit, red blood cell count, reticulocyte count), markers of hemolysis (bilirubin, lactate dehydrogenase, haptoglobin), red blood cell survival (biotinylation labeling method), and histopathological examination of spleen and liver for signs of extramedullary hematopoiesis and iron deposition. For the racemate, similar protocols would be used but with dose adjustments (typically 2× the active enantiomer dose) due to the presence of the inactive isomer. SCD mouse models also assess vaso-occlusion (e.g., mesenteric microcirculation studies) and inflammation (plasma IL-6, TNF-alpha). No specific in vivo data for the racemate is publicly available.

| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
No specific pharmacokinetic data for (Rac)-Etavopivat. For the active enantiomer Etavopivat (FT-4202), the compound is orally bioavailable with good absorption. In humans, Phase 1/2 studies have reported pharmacokinetic parameters: Tmax ~1-2 hours, terminal half-life suitable for once-daily dosing (approximately 6-12 hours), dose-proportional AUC and Cmax. Metabolism is primarily via CYP3A4, and drug-drug interaction potential exists. Excretion is primarily in feces and urine. The racemate would be expected to have similar PK parameters to the pure active enantiomer, but with differences in enantiomer-specific clearance. Molecular weight: 457.5 (for the racemate). Solubility: soluble in DMSO. Storage: powder at -20degC for 3 years; in solvent at -80degC for 6 months.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
No specific toxicity data for (Rac)-Etavopivat. For the active enantiomer Etavopivat (FT-4202), preclinical toxicity studies have been conducted to support clinical development. In clinical trials, Etavopivat has been generally well tolerated. Common adverse events include mild gastrointestinal disturbances (nausea, diarrhea) and headache. No significant drug-induced liver injury, cardiotoxicity (QT prolongation), or genotoxicity has been reported. As a PKR activator, the primary expected on-target effect is modulation of red blood cell metabolism, which is the intended therapeutic mechanism. Long-term safety data from ongoing clinical trials will further characterize the risk-benefit profile. The racemate is not used clinically; only the pure active enantiomer has been advanced to clinical trials.

| Additional Infomation |
(Rac)-Etavopivat ((Rac)-FT-4202, CAS: 2622070-93-1) is the racemic isomer of Etavopivat (FT-4202), an orally active erythrocyte pyruvate kinase-R (PKR) activator. PKR is a key enzyme in the glycolytic pathway in red blood cells. Activation of PKR increases ATP production and reduces 2,3-DPG levels, shifting the hemoglobin oxygen dissociation curve to the left and increasing oxygen affinity. This reduces red blood cell sickling under hypoxic conditions in sickle cell disease (SCD). Etavopivat (the active enantiomer) has been investigated in Phase 2/3 clinical trials for SCD and other hemoglobinopathies. (Rac)-Etavopivat is a research reagent used for comparative studies. Molecular formula: C22H23N3O6S, molecular weight: 457.5. Appearance: white to off-white solid powder. Solubility: soluble in DMSO. Storage: powder at -20degC. Not approved for clinical use. For research use only. References: Etavopivat is an orally active erythrocyte pyruvate kinase-R (PKR) activator that can be used in studies of sickle cell disease and other haemoglobinopathies.
