Product Description
Atrasentan sodium is a potent endothelin receptor antagonist, inhibiting the activity of ETA with an IC50 value of 0.0551 nM. Atrasentan sodium (CAS No.: 178738-96-0) is a potent and highly selective small-molecule antagonist of the endothelin A receptor. Its molecular formula is C₂₉H₃₇N₂NaO₆ with a molecular weight of 532.60. Originally developed by Abbott and subsequently acquired by Novartis, atrasentan received accelerated FDA approval on April 2, 2025, under the brand name Vanrafia™, for the reduction of proteinuria in adults with primary immunoglobulin A nephropathy who are at rapid risk of disease progression. This product is for research use only and is not intended for human therapeutic or veterinary use.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Atrasentan sodium selectively targets and inhibits the endothelin A receptor. It exhibits a Ki of 0.034 nM and an IC₅₀ of 0.055 nM for the ETA receptor. Atrasentan demonstrates >1800-fold selectivity for ETA over the ETB receptor (Ki of 63.3 nM for ETB). The ETA receptor is the primary effector receptor for endothelin-1, mediating vasoconstriction, inflammation, and fibrosis in tissues including the kidney and vasculature.
ln Vitro
In vitro studies demonstrate that atrasentan inhibits [¹²⁵I]ET-1 binding to CHO cells overexpressing the human ETA receptor with a pKi of 10.47 (Ki 0.03 nM). In LNCaP and C4-2b prostate cancer cells, atrasentan (0-50 μM) significantly inhibits cell proliferation, with enhanced effects on viable cell reduction when combined with Taxotere. Atrasentan significantly induces the expression of multiple CYP enzymes and drug transporters (e.g., 12-fold induction of CYP3A4 at 50 μM), with IC₅₀ values of 59.8±11 μM for BCRP and 15.1±1.6 μM for P-gp.
ln Vivo
In the SONAR trial (NCT01858532) of patients with type 2 diabetic nephropathy, atrasentan (0.75 mg once daily) reduced the risk of the primary composite renal endpoint by 29% (HR=0.65, 95% CI: 0.49-0.88) and decreased proteinuria by 36%. In the ALIGN trial (NCT04573478), after 36 weeks of atrasentan treatment, UPCR in IgAN patients decreased by 38.1% from baseline, compared to a 3.1% decrease in the placebo group, with a between-group difference of 36.1% (95% CI: 44.6%~26.4%, P<0.001). In hypophysectomized rats, oral atrasentan (3 mg/kg) inhibits the pressor response induced by big endothelin-1 (1 nmol/kg).
Enzyme Assay
Radioligand binding assays are used to evaluate the binding affinity of atrasentan to the ETA receptor. Membrane preparations from CHO cells expressing the human ETA receptor are incubated with [¹²⁵I]ET-1 and varying concentrations of atrasentan. Bound and free radioligands are separated by filtration, and radioactivity is measured to calculate Ki and IC₅₀ values.
Cell Assay
Cell Proliferation Assay: LNCaP, C4-2b, and PC-3 prostate cancer cells are seeded in 96-well plates at a density of 3 × 10³ cells per well. After overnight culture, the medium is replaced with fresh medium containing various concentrations of atrasentan (0-50 μM). After 72 hours of drug treatment, 20 μL of MTT solution (5 mg/mL) is added to each well and incubated for an additional 2 hours. The supernatant is then removed, and 100 μL of isopropanol is added to dissolve the formazan crystals. After mixing on a shaker for 30 minutes, absorbance is measured at 595 nm.
Animal Protocol
Hypophysectomized Rat Model: Rats receive oral atrasentan (0.3, 1, 3 mg/kg) or vehicle (0.5% methylcellulose) at a dosing volume of 5 mL/kg. Approximately 20 minutes after administration, rats are anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital, hypophysectomized, and artificially ventilated. Approximately 1 hour after administration, big endothelin-1 (1 nmol/kg) is injected intravenously, and blood pressure changes are recorded. Linear regression analysis is used to calculate the dose required to inhibit big endothelin-1-induced diastolic blood pressure elevation by 50% (ID₅₀).
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Atrasentan is well absorbed orally, with AUC increasing proportionally to dose over the 0.35-30 mg dose range. Steady state is achieved after 7 days of continuous dosing, with an AUC accumulation ratio of approximately 2-3 fold compared to the initial dose. A high-fat diet has no significant effect on its pharmacokinetics. Plasma protein binding: >99% Elimination half-life: 24-41 hours Apparent clearance: 19 L/h Metabolism: Approximately 50% via CYP3A, with the remainder via glucuronidation by multiple UGTs Excretion: Following a single 10 mg oral dose, approximately 86% is excreted in feces, with <4% excreted in urine Special populations: Gender, age, race, mild-to-severe renal impairment, and mild-to-moderate hepatic impairment have no significant effect on pharmacokinetics; use in severe hepatic impairment or end-stage renal disease is not recommended Genetic Polymorphism Impact: The OATP1B1 transporter, encoded by the SLCO1B1 gene, shows the strongest correlation with atrasentan plasma exposure, classifying patients as OATP1B1 normal or slow phenotypes.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
BOXED WARNING: EMBRYO-FETAL TOXICITY Atrasentan may cause serious birth defects and is contraindicated in pregnancy. Common Adverse Reactions (incidence ≥5%): Peripheral edema (10%) Anemia (6%) Other Adverse Reactions (≥2% and higher than placebo): Elevated liver transaminases (2%) Warnings and Precautions: Hepatotoxicity: May cause elevated aminotransferases, hepatotoxicity, and liver failure. Liver function should be assessed before treatment, and therapy should be discontinued if symptoms of liver injury occur Fluid retention: May cause peripheral edema, primarily related to hemodilution Decreased sperm count: May affect male fertility Drug interactions: Avoid concomitant use with strong or moderate CYP3A inducers and OATP1B1/1B3 inhibitors
