Bioactivity

Lomitapide (AEGR-733; BMS-201038) is a potent inhibitor of microsomal triglyceride-transfer protein (MTP) with an IC50 of 8 nM in vitro.

Target

IC50: 8 nM (MTP)

Invitro

Lomitapide is an oral microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) inhibitor indicated for the treatment of patients with HoFH, a rare form of hypercholesterolemia that can lead to premature atherosclerotic disease. Lomitapide undergoes hepatic metabolism via cytochrome P-450 (CYP) isoenzyme 3A4 and interacts with CYP3A4 substrates including atorvastatin and simvastatin[2].

In Vivo

The use of lomitapide alone or in combination with other lipid-lowering modalities reduces plasma concentrations of low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) by a mean of more than 50%. Lomitapide is associated with significant gastrointestinal adverse effects and increases in hepatic fat levels. The bioavailability of the 50-mg lomitapide capsule is 7.1%. The mean half-life of lomitapide is 39.7 hours[2]. Single-dose administration of lomitapide is shown to reduce serum triglycerides by 35% and 47% at 0.3- and 1-mg/kg doses, respectively. Multiple-dose treatment with lomitapide also results in dose dependent decrease in triglycerides (71%–87%), nonesterified fattyacids(33%–40%), and LDL-C(26-29%)[3].
