Navafenterol (AZD-8871) is a novel and potent inhaled long-acting dual-pharmacology muscarinic antagonist/β 2 -adrenoceptor agonist (MABA) in development for the treatment of obstructive airways diseases. The safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacokinetics of navafenterol were investigated in patients with mild asthma.

Biological Activity
| ln Vitro | Navafenterol (AZD-8871) has pIC50 values of 9.9, 9.9, 9.5, 10.4, and 8.8 for human M1, M2, M3, M4, and M5 receptors, respectively[1]. Navafenterol's pEC50 values for β1, β2, and β3 adrenergic receptors are 9.0, 9.5, and 8.7, in that order. Compared to β1 and β3 subtypes (three-fold and six-fold, respectively), it is more selective for β2 adrenergic receptors [1]. When compared to M2 receptors, navafenterol shows kinetic selectivity for M3 receptors (half-life: 4.97 hours) (half-life: 0.46 hours) [1]. In isolated guinea pig tissues, navafenterol demonstrated dual antimuscarinic and β2-adrenoceptor functional activity (pIC50 in electrically stimulated trachea: 8.6; pEC50 in self-sounding isolated trachea: 8.8) and over time. There is still a transition[1]. |
| ln Vivo | In dogs and guinea pigs, navafenterol (AZD-8871) inhibits acetylcholine-induced bronchoconstriction and, at doses with bronchoprotective efficacy, has negligible effects on heart rate and salivation. Moreover, dogs who received AZD8871 had long-lasting benefits, with a bronchial protective half-life of more than 24 hours. With an ID40 of 0.40 µg/kg, navafenterol demonstrated dose-proportionate bronchial protection without a discernible potency difference [1]. |
| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Male Dunkin Hartley guinea pig (body weight 340-600 g) bronchoconstriction model [1] Doses: 10, 30, 100 and 300 μg/mL Route of Administration: Aerosol administration Experimental Results: Concentration-response inhibition of bronchoconstriction, The IC50 value is 2.1 µg/mL. Exhibits anti-sialic acid effects, with a maximum inhibition rate of 65% ± 11% on salivation at a concentration of 300 µg/mL, with an estimated IC50 of 138.4 µg/mL. Animal/Disease Models: Male anesthetized beagle dog [1] Doses: 0.3, 1, 3 or 10 µg/kg Route of Administration: Administered as a nebulized liquid aerosol; administration volume 3 mL Experimental Results: At all doses tested (0.3-10 µg/kg) demonstrated significant effects within 24 hrs (hrs (hours)). The dose of 10 µg/kg demonstrated long-lasting effects, with bronchial protection of 79% ± 3.6% at 24 hrs (hrs (hours)) and a calculated half-life longer than 24 hrs (hrs (hours)). |

InvivoChem strongly recommends customers to read literature methods/protocols carefully before determining which formulation you should use for in vivo studies, as different compounds have different solubility properties and have to be formulated differently.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |
