| Bioactivity | Epaminurad (UR-1102) is an orally active, potent and selective URAT1 (urate transporter 1) inhibitor, with a Ki of 0.057 μM. Epaminurad quite modestly inhibits OAT1 and OAT3 (organic anion transporter). Epaminurad is a uricosuric agent. Epaminurad can be used for gout and hyperuricemia research[1]. | ||||||||||||
| Target | Ki: 0.057 ± 0.036 μM (URAT1), 2.4 ± 0.2 μM (OAT3), 7.2 ± 0.8 μM (OAT1). | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | UR-1102 (0-12 μM) inhibits urate and PAH (p-aminohippuric acid) uptake by HEK293 cells transiently expressing URAT1, OAT1, or OAT3[1]. | ||||||||||||
| In Vivo | Epaminurad (0-30 mg/kg, Orally, once a day for 3 consecutive days) shows uricosuric and urate-lowering effects[1].Epaminurad (3-30 mg/kg, Orally, once) shows a good pharmacokinetic profile, increases the fractional excretion of urinary uric acid, and reduces plasma uric acid more effectively[1].Pharmacokinetic Parameters of Epaminurad (UR-1102) in tufted capuchin monkeys[1].
