Product Description

Razuprotafib (AKB-9778) is a novel small molecule Tie2 activator being developed in phase 2 clnical trials by Aerpio company for a number of indications including Diabetic Nephropathy, Open Angle Glaucoma and ARDS due to COVID-19. It enhances endothelial function and stabilizes blood vessels, including pulmonary and renal vasculature. Razuprotafib restores Tie2 activation to stabilize the vasculature providing breakthrough potential for reducing the severity of COVID-19 associated pulmonary and vascular pathology resulting in fewer patients requiring ventilator support, decreased time in ICU on ventilator support and more rapid and complete recovery with concomitant reduction mortality. Additionally, razuprotafib together with emerging antiviral drugs could provide the optimal combination of host and virus targeted therapy for prevention and treatment of COVID‑19 and COVID-19 related ARDS. Razuprotafib is also a protein tyrosine phosphatase ß (HPTPß) inhibitor.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Razuprotafib (AKB-9778) increases angiopoietin-induced TIE2 phosphorylation and stimulates TIE2 phosphorylation and downstream signaling in HUVECs [1].
ln Vivo
Subcutaneous injection of razuprotafib (20 mg/kg) stimulates TIE2 phosphorylation in retinal endothelial cells in vivo [1]. Subretinal neovascularization (NV) is inhibited by razuprotafib (10–20 mg/kg; subcutaneous injection; twice daily for 7 days) [1].

Additional Infomation
Razuprotafib, also known as AKB-9778, is a small-molecule inhibitor restoring Tie2 activation by inhibiting VE-PTP. In investigations against diabetes and COVID-19, razuprotafib is self-administered by patients through subcutaneous injection.
Razuprotafib is a small molecule inhibitor of vascular endothelial protein tyrosine phosphatase (VE-PTP), with potential vasculature stabilizing activity. Upon administration, razuprotafib targets, binds to and inhibits VE-PTP, which is a negative regulator of the endothelial cell (EC)-specific receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) Tie2. This restores Tie2 activation, which may improve endothelial function and stabilize blood vessels. VE-PTP is upregulated in stressed endothelium associated with a variety of diseases. Tie2 plays an important role in endothelial function and vascular stability. A decrease in Tie2 activation leads to vascular leakage and inflammation.
Mechanism of Action
Razuprotafib inhibits [VE-PTP](https://go.drugbank.com/bio_entities/BE0003769) (a negative regulator of Tie2 in diseased blood vessels) by binding and inhibiting the intracellular catalytic domain of VE-PTP that inactivates Tie2. This in turn allows razuprotafib to restore Tie2 activation to allow for enhancement of endothelial function and stabilization of blood vessels. Razuprotafib is being investigated against diabetic vascular complications and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in COVID-19.

Biological Data
  • HUVECs were left untreated or were treated with AKB-9778 alone or together with ANG1 or ANG2 (500 ng/ml) for 10 minutes. Cell lysates were immunoprecipitated (IP) with anti-TIE2 and immunoblotted sequentially for phosphotyrosine (p-Tyr) and TIE2, or they were probed with rabbit polyclonal antibodies against p-AKT, total AKT, p-ERK, total ERK, p-eNOS, or total eNOS. Incubation with AKB-9778 or ANG1 caused phosphorylation of TIE2 (A) and molecules in the TIE2 signaling pathway (B), which was markedly enhanced by coadministration of ANG1 with AKB-9778. Treatment with ANG2 caused no phosphorylation of TIE2 or downstream molecules, but there was strong phosphorylation with coadministration of ANG2 and AKB-9778, though less than was observed with ANG1 plus AKB-9778. (C)Knockdown of TIE2 in the EC-RF24 endothelial cell line (ECRF) with human TIE2-specific shRNA eliminated the ability of AKB-9778, with or without ANG1 or ANG2, to stimulate phosphorylation of AKT or ERK.

  • (A) Subcutaneous injection of 10 or 20 mg/kg AKB-9778 significantly reduced the area of choroidal NV (n = 10 for all groups in A–D; *P = 0.03,**P = 0.004 for comparison with control by 1-way ANOVA with Bonferroni’s correction). Scale bar: 100 μm. (B) Subcutaneous injection of 10 mg/kg AKB-9778 significantly reduced the area of subretinal NV in Rho-VEGF–transgenic mice (P = 0.038 for comparison with control by unpaired t test). Scale bar: 100 μm. (C) Intraocular injection of 3 or 5 μg, but not 1 μg, AKB-9778 significantly reduced the choroidal NV area (*P < 0.01 for comparison with vehicle control by 1-way ANOVA with Bonferroni’s correction). Scale bar: 100 μm. (D) Intraocular injection of 5 μg AKB-9778 significantly reduced the subretinal NV area in Rho-VEGF–transgenic mice (*P = 0.022 for difference versus vehicle control by unpaired t test). Scale bar: 100 μm. [1].Targeting VE-PTP activates TIE2 and stabilizes the ocular vasculature. J Clin Invest. 2014;124(10):4564-4576.
  • Tet-opsin-Ang2 mice were placed in 75% oxygen at P7, returned to room air at P12, and divided into 4 groups: Dox+/vehicle (n = 17) received daily s.c. Dox (50 mg/kg) and an intraocular injection of vehicle; Dox+/AKB-9778 (n = 21) received daily s.c. Dox and an intraocular injection of 5 μg AKB-9778; Dox–/vehicle (n = 10) received an intraocular injection of vehicle; Dox–/AKB-9778 (n = 10) received an intraocular injection of 5 μg AKB-9778. At P17, the Dox+/vehicle mice had severe NV (A) that was markedly reduced in the Dox+/AKB-9778 mice (B). The large vessels are hyaloid vessels, but all other green staining is NV. Compared with Dox–/vehicle mice (C), Dox–/AKB-9778 mice appeared to show less NV (D). Scale bar: 500 μm. The area of NV was significantly larger in Dox+/vehicle mice versus that in Dox–/vehicle mice (E) (*P < 0.001 by 1-way ANOVA with Bonferroni’s correction), indicating that ANG2 stimulated NV. The area of NV was significantly smaller in Dox+/AKB-9778 versus Dox+/vehicle mice (**P < 0.001 by 1-way ANOVA with Bonferroni’s correction), indicating that AKB-9778 suppressed NV in the presence of high levels of ANG2 and possibly less so in the absence of high ANG2 levels. In hypoxic HUVECs (incubated in 5% oxygen for 4 or 16 hours), there were marked reductions of ANG1-induced (500 ng/ml) TIE2 phosphorylation (F) and downstream signaling (G); however, AKB-9778 (5 μM) restored TIE2 phosphorylation (F) and downstream signaling (G), even in the presence of exogenous ANG2 (500 ng/ml). Antibodies recognizing the proteins regardless of phosphorylation status were used as loading controls. Similar results were obtained in 3 independent experiments.[1].Targeting VE-PTP activates TIE2 and stabilizes the ocular vasculature. J Clin Invest. 2014;124(10):4564-4576.
