Iptacopan (LNP-023; LNP023) HCl, the hydrochloride salt of Iptacopan, is an oral, potent and selective factor B inhibitor ( IC50 = 10 nM). It has the potential for Treating a Diverse Array of Complement Mediated Diseases including age-related macular degeneration, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS), and various glomerular diseases, as the alternative pathway (AP) of the complement system is a key contributor to the pathogenesis of these diseases. Iptacopan (Fabhalta) was approved in 2023 by FDA for treating Paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria.

Biological Activity
| Targets |
|
|
| ln Vitro | LNP023 significantly suppresses alternative complement pathway (AP)-induced membrane attack complex (MAC) production in human serum by 50% (IC50 value 130 nM) [2]. LNP023 demonstrates high selectivity against other proteases, with IC50 values >30 μM among a panel of 41 human proteases, including AP protein factor D (>100 μM) [3]. | |
| ln Vivo | LNP023 (20-180 mg/kg; oral dose) inhibits KRN (150 μL)-induced arthritis in mice and is efficacious in a rat experimental model of membranous nephropathy via preventive and therapeutic dosing [2]. LNP023 has an intermediate half-life (T1/2; 3.4 hours in Wistar Han rats and 5.5 hours in Beagle dogs) and Cmax (410 nM in Wistar Han rats and 2200 nM in Beagle dogs) following oral treatment (30 in rats and 10 in dogs). mg/kg)[3]. Due to high plasma clearance (8 and 2 mL/min/kg), LNP023 demonstrates a terminal elimination half-life (T1/2; 7 hours in Wistar Han rats, 5.6 hours in Beagle dogs) with a broad distribution after intravenous injection, respectively. volumes (2.3 and 0.6 L/kg, respectively) combined (rat 1.0 and dog 0.1 mg/kg) [3]. | |
| Enzyme Assay |
In Vitro Inhibition Assays [2]. Compounds were tested for FB inhibition either by using CVF:Bb as stable surrogate of the C3 convertase and purified endogenous C3 as substrate or by using a competition binding assay with FB and a Cy5-labeled small-molecule inhibitor as probe. AP inhibition was measured in 50% human serum or 50% human whole blood by following zymosan A-induced MAC formation. Serum or whole blood was preincubated with compound for 30 min before transfer to zymosan A-coated plates. MAC formation was detected with an anti-C9 neoepitope antibody by ELISA. AP complement deposition in mouse serum was measured in an analogous way except that C3b deposition was detected instead of MAC formation. Further details on protein purification and all in vitro assays are given in SI Appendix. |

| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: C57BL/6 mice with KRN-induced arthritis[2] Doses: 20, 60, and 180 mg/kg Route of Administration: Orally gavaged; twice a day (bid) for 14 days Experimental Results: Blocked KRN-induced arthritis. |
