Product Description

Ambrisentan (formerly BSF-208075; LU-208075; BSF208075; LU208075; Letairis; Volibris; pulmonext) is a selective antagonist of the endothelin-1 type A receptor (ETA). For the treatment of pulmonary hypertension, ambrisentan has received FDA approval.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
ETA receptor
ln Vitro

In vitro activity: Ambrisentan is an antagonist of the endothelin type A receptor [1]. Nrf2 activation is induced by ambrisentan. After BMEC monolayers were exposed to hypoxia for 24 hours, endothelial permeability increased, and ambrisentan reduced hypoxia-induced BMEC leakage when compared to the vehicle control. When siRNA targeting Nrf2 is transfected into BMEC prior to treatment, these outcomes are reversed[2].

ln Vivo
The liver hydroxyproline content is significantly lower in the Ambrisentan group (18.0 μg/g±6.1 μg/g vs 33.9 μg/g±13.5 μg/g liver, respectively, P=0.014) than in the control group. The Ambrisentan group also showed significantly reduced levels of hepatic fibrosis as determined by Sirius red staining and areas positive for α-smooth muscle actin, a marker of activated hepatic stellate cells (0.46%±0.18% vs 1.11%±0.28%, respectively, P=0.0003; and 0.12%±0.08% vs 0.25%±0.11%, respectively, P=0.047). Furthermore, the Ambrisentan group exhibits a significant 60% and 45% decrease in hepatic RNA expression levels of procollagen-1 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) respectively. There are no appreciable differences in the groups' liver inflammation, steatosis, or endothelin-related mRNA expression. By preventing hepatic stellate cell activation and lowering procollagen-1 and TIMP-1 gene expression, ambrisentan slows the advancement of hepatic fibrosis. Ambrisentan had no effect on steatosis or inflammation[1].
Cell Assay
Cells are randomly assigned to four groups for every BMEC experiment, unless otherwise specified: (1) normoxia vehicle control (Nx-CTRL); (2) normoxia-treated; (3) hypoxia (24 h) control (Hx-CTRL); and (4) hypoxia (24 h) treated. Nrf2 activators are added 24 hours before any hypoxic exposures, as previously mentioned. Protandim (100 μg/mL), methazolamide (125 μg/mL), nifedipine (7 μg/mL), or ambrisentan (40 μg/mL) are the cell treatments. Additionally, Nrf2 siRNA is applied to a subset of cells. In these tests, siRNA is added 24 hours before medication administration. The purpose of the 24-hour hypoxia exposure for BMEC is to guarantee that the cells maintain their siRNA transfection both during the 24-hour hypoxia exposure and during the drug pre-treatment (24 hours in normoxia). On three different days (n=9), data is gathered from a minimum of three distinct cell culture preparations[2].
Animal Protocol
Mice: The experimental group consists of thirteen male FLS-ob/ob mice, weighing 42.88 g±1.74 g and aged 8 weeks. Male FLS-ob/ob mice are randomized at random to either the control (n = 5) or Ambrisentan (n = 8) group at 12 weeks or older. When a conscious animal has a gastric tube that is the right size, intragastric gavage is administered. Through the use of a gastric tube, ambrisentan (2.5 mg/kg daily) is given orally as a bolus every afternoon for four weeks. The group under control receives water treatment. The fourth week involves fasting the animals for four hours, drawing blood from the tail vein, and testing their blood glucose levels. Blood is extracted from the right ventricle and the animals are put to death after four weeks by injection with pentobarbital anesthesia. Plasma samples are kept at -80°C in a frozen state. The fat from the liver and viscera is then weighed, liquid nitrogen-snap frozen, and kept at -80°C for storage. Further liver specimens are embedded in paraffin and fixed in 10% buffered formalin for histological examination.

Additional Infomation
Ambrisentan is a diarylmethane. Ambrisentan is an orally active selective type A endothelin receptor antagonist indicated for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension. It is approved in Europe, Canada and the United States for use as a single agent to improve exercise ability and delay clinical worsening. In addition, it is approved in the United States for use in combination with tadalafil to reduce the risks of disease progression, hospitalization and to improve exercise ability. Studies establishing the efficacy of Ambrisentan included patients with both idiopathic or heritable pulmonary arterial hypertension and those with pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with connective tissue diseases. Patients studied displayed symptoms and etiologies predominantly of WHO Functional Class II-III. As an endothelin receptor antagonist, Ambrisentan prevents endogenous endothelin peptide from constricting the muscles in blood vessels, allowing them to relax and permit a reduction in blood pressure.
Ambrisentan is an Endothelin Receptor Antagonist. The mechanism of action of ambrisentan is as an Endothelin Receptor Antagonist.
Ambrisentan is an endothelin receptor antagonist used in the therapy of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Ambrisentan has been associated with a low rate of serum enzyme elevations during therapy, but has yet to be implicated in cases of clinically apparent acute liver injury.
Ambrisentan is an orally bioavailable, selective antagonist of the endothelin type-A (ETA) receptor that may be used for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Upon administration, ambrisentan targets and binds to ETA receptor, which prevents the binding of endothelin-1 (ET-1) to the ETA receptor and ET-1/ETA-mediated vasoconstriction and cell proliferation. This may lead to vasodilation. ET-1 concentrations are increased in plasma as well as lung tissue in PAH, and ET-1 may play a key role in the pathogenesis of PAH.

Ambrisentan 10 mg daily had no significant effect on the QTc interval, whereas a 40 mg daily dose of ambrisentan increased mean QTc at tmax by 5 ms with an upper 95% confidence limit of 9 ms. Significant QTc prolongation is not expected in patients taking ambrisentan without concomitant metabolic inhibitors. Plasma concentrations of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in patients who received ambrisentan for 12 weeks were significantly decreased. Two Phase III placebo-controlled studies demonstrated a decrease in BNP plasma concentrations by 29% in the 2.5 mg group, 30% in the 5 mg group, and 45% in the 10 mg group (p < 0.001 for each dose group) and an increase by 11% in the placebo group.


Absorption
Ambrisentan is rapidly absorbed with peak plasma concentrations occuring around 2 hours after oral administration. Cmax and AUC increase proportionally with dose across the therapeutic dosing range. Absolute oral bioavailability of ambrisentan is unknown. Absorption is not affected by food.
Route of Elimination
Ambrisentan is primarily cleared by non-renal pathways. Along with its metabolites, ambrisentan is primarily found in the feces following hepatic and/or extra-hepatic metabolism. Approximately 22% of the administered dose is recovered in the urine following oral administration with 3.3% being unchanged ambrisentan.
Volume of Distribution
Ambrisentan has a low distribution into red blow cells, with a mean blood:plasma ratio of 0.57 and 0.61 in males and females, respectively.
Clearance
The mean oral clearance of ambrisentan was found to be 38 mL/min in healthy subjects and 19 mL/min in patients with pulmonary artery hypertension.
Metabolism / Metabolites
Ambrisentan is a metabolized primarily by uridine 5’-diphosphate glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) 1A9S, 2B7S,1A3S to form ambrisentan glucuronide. Ambrisentan is also metabolized to a lesser extent by CYP3A4, CYP3A5 and CYP2C19 to form 4- hydroxymethyl ambrisentan which is further glucuronidated to 4-hydroxymethyl ambrisentan glucuronide.
Biological Half-Life
Ambrisentan has a terminal half-life of 15 hours. It is thought that steady state is achieved after around 4 days of repeat-dosing.
Mechanism of Action
Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is an endogenous peptide that acts on the endothelin type A (ETA) and endothelin type B (ETB) receptors in vascular smooth muscle and endothelium. ETA-mediated actions include vasoconstriction and cell proliferation, whereas ETB predominantly mediates vasodilation, anti-proliferation, and ET-1 clearance. In patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension, ET-1 levels are increased and correlate with increased right arterial pressure and severity of disease. Ambrisentan is one of several newly developed vasodilator drugs that selectively target the endothelin type A (ETA) receptor, inhibiting its action and preventing vasoconstriction. Selective inhibition of the ETA receptor prevents phospholipase C-mediated vasoconstriction and protein kinase C-mediated cell proliferation. Endothelin type B (ETB) receptor function is not significantly inhibited, and nitric oxide and prostacyclin production, cyclic GMP- and cyclic AMP-mediated vasodilation, and endothelin-1 (ET-1) clearance is preserved.
Ambrisentan is indicated for treatment of idiopathic (‘primary’) pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) associated with connective tissue disease in patients with WHO functional class II or III symptoms. In the United States of America, ambrisentan is also indicated in combination with tadalafil to reduce the risks of disease progression and hospitalization for worsening PAH, and to improve exercise ability.
