Product Description

Lumacaftor (formerly VX809; VRT-826809; VRT826809; VX-809; Orkambi) is a potent and orally bioavailable CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) corrector with antifibrotic effects. It acts by correcting CFTR mutations common in cystic fibrosis by increasing mutant CFTR (F508del-CFTR) maturation, with EC50 of 0.1 μM. VX-809 may be useful for treating patients with cystic fibrosis who have a phe508del CFTR mutation. Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder that causes multiorgan morbidity and premature death, most commonly from pulmonary dysfunction.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
CFTR (EC50: 0.1μM)
ln Vitro
In fischer rat thyroid (FRT) cells, Lumacaftor improves F508del-CFTR maturation by 7.1±0.3 fold (n=3) compared with vehicle-treated cells (EC50, 0.1±0.1 μM; n=3) and enhances F508del-CFTR-mediated chloride transport by nearly fivefold (EC50, 0.5±0.1 μM; n=3). At Lumacaftor doses larger than 10 μM, the reaction is diminished, resulting in a bell-shaped dose-response relationship with an IC50 of around 100 μM. Lumacaftor is orally accessible in rats and achieved in vivo plasma levels much beyond quantities required for in vitro efficacy[1]. Lumacaftor exhibits a concentration-dependent rise in the HRP luminescence signal after incubation with cells at 37°C or 27°C in both cells lines, with a similar EC50 value of around 0.3 µM. In F508-HRP CFBE41o- cells at 37°C, Lumacaftor enhances the signal maximally to around 250 luminescence arbitrary units (au) over the DMSO control baseline of approximately 60 au, reflecting an approximately 4-fold signal increase. Similarly, with the R1070W-HRP CFBE41o- cells, Lumacaftor enhances the signal maximally to around 220 au over the DMSO control baseline of roughly 85 au, suggesting an approximately 2.5-fold signal increase. Therefore, both cells lines give robust signals with a good dynamic range for high-throughput screening[2].
ln Vivo
In male Sprague-Dawley rats, oral administration of 1 mg/kg Lumacaftor yields a Cmax of 2.4±1.3 μM and a t1/2 of 7.7±0.4 h (mean±SD; n=3). These data suggest that Lumacaftor is orally accessible and can achieve plasma levels that greatly above EC50s for F508del-CFTR correction[1].
Enzyme Assay
Screening Procedures [2].
Screening was carried out using a Beckman Coulter (Fullerton, CA) Biomek FX platform. In one set of assays, R1070W-∆F508-CFTR-HRP (R1070W-HRP)–expressing CFBE41o− cells were incubated with 100 µl medium containing 25 µM test compounds and 0.5 μg/ml doxycycline for 24 hours at 37°C. In a second set of assays, ∆F508-CFTR-HRP (∆F508-HRP)–expressing CFBE41o− cells were incubated with 100 µl medium containing 25 µM test compounds, 2 µM VX-809, and 0.5 μg/ml doxycycline for 24 hours at 37°C. All compound plates contained negative controls [dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) vehicle] and positive controls [2 µM VX-809]. In both assays, the cells were washed four times with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), and HRP activity was assayed by the addition of 50 µl/well of HRP substrate (WesternBright Sirius Kit; Advansta Corp, Menlo Park, CA). After shaking for 5 minutes, chemiluminescence was measured using a Tecan Infinite M1000 plate reader (Tecan Groups Ltd, Mannedorf, Switzerland) equipped with an automated stacker (integration time, 100 milliseconds). Z′ is defined as = 1 − [(3 × standard deviation of maximum signal control + 3 × standard deviation of minimum signal control)/absolute (mean of maximum signal control − mean of minimum signal control)]
Cell Assay
Functional Assays.[2]
A549 cells expressing ∆F508-CFTR YFP were grown at 37°C/5% CO2 for 18–24 hours after plating. The cells were then incubated with 100 μl of medium containing test compounds for 18–24 hours. At the time of the assay, cells were washed with PBS and then incubated for 10 minutes with PBS containing forskolin (20 μM) and genistein (50 μM). Each well was assayed individually for I– influx by recording fluorescence continuously (200 milliseconds per point) for 2 seconds (baseline) and then for 12 seconds after rapid addition of 165 μl PBS in which 137 mM Cl– was replaced by I–. The initial I– influx rate was computed by fitting the final 11.5 seconds of the data to an exponential for extrapolation of initial slope, which was normalized for background-subtracted initial fluorescence. All compound plates contained negative controls (DMSO vehicle) and positive controls (5 µM VX-809). Fluorescence was measured using a Tecan Infinite M1000 plate reader equipped with a dual syringe pump (excitation/emission 500/535 nm).

Short-Circuit Current Measurements.[2]
Test compounds (without or with 10 μM VX-809) were incubated with primary human CF bronchial epithelial cells from ΔF508-CFTR–homozygous subjects at the basolateral side for 18–24 hours at 37°C prior to measurements. The apical and basolateral chambers contained identical solutions as follows: 130 mM NaCl, 0.38 mM KH2PO4, 2.1 mM K2HPO4, 1 mM MgCl2, 1 mM CaCl2, 25 mM NaHCO3, and 10 mM glucose. Solutions were bubbled with 5% CO2/95% O2 and maintained at 37°C. Hemichambers were connected to a DVC-1000 voltage clamp (World Precision Instruments Inc., Sarasota, FL) via Ag/AgCl electrodes and 1 M KCl agar bridges for recording of short-circuit current.
Animal Protocol

Male rats (n=3 per dose group) are orally administered Lumacaftor in a vehicle consisting of 0.5% Tween80/0.5% methylcellulose/water at a dose volume of 5 mL/kg. The concentration of Lumacaftor in plasma samples is determined with a liquid chromatography/tandem MS method. Pharmacokinetic parameters are calculated byusing WinNonlin Professional Edition software.
Oral administration; 600 mg once daily or 400 mg every 12 hours
