| Bioactivity | Lesogaberan (AZD-3355) is a potent and selective GABAB receptor agonist with an EC50 of 8.6 nM for human recombinant GABAB receptors. The affinity (Kis) of Lesogaberan for rat GABAB and GABAA receptors, as measured by displacement of [3H]GABA binding in brain membranes: 5.1 nM and 1.4 μM, respectively. Lesogaberan inhibits transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxation through a peripheral mode of action[1]. |
| Target | Ki: 5.1±1.2 nM (rat GABAB), 1.4±0.3 μM (rat GABAA)EC50: 8.6±0.77 nM (human GABAB receptor) |
| Invitro | Lesogaberan (3-30 nM) enhances human islet cell proliferation in vitro[2]. Cell Proliferation Assay[2] Cell Line: |
| In Vivo | Lesogaberan (AZD3355) potently stimulates recombinant human GABAB receptors and inhibits transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxation (TLESR) in dogs, with a biphasic dose-response curve[1].Oral Lesogaberan (0.08 mg/mL; 48 hours) protects human islet β-cells from apoptosis in islet grafts in mice[2]. Lesogaberan (7 μmol/kg) shows high oral availability (88% in the dog and 100% in the rat) and relatively low systemic clearance in female SpragueDawley rats[1]. Animal Model: |
