Sacubitril hemicalcium (also known as AHU377; AHU-377; Entresto) is a novel and potent NEP (neutral endopeptidase 24.11) inhibitor with an IC50 of 5 nM. It is a component of the heart failure medication LCZ696 (sacubitril/valsartan). This prodrug can be converted to LBQ657 by using esterases to de-ethylate it. The blood pressure-lowering peptides atrial and brain natriuretic peptide, which primarily lower blood volume, are broken down by the enzyme neprilysin, which is inhibited by LBQ657.

ln Vitro |
Combining the molecular components of valsartan (an ARB) and sacubitril hemicalcium salt (a neprilysin inhibitor) in a 1:1 ratio, sacubitril (AHU-377) is a single molecule. Enzymatic cleavage of the ethyl ester converts sacubitril (AHU-377) to the active enkephalinase-inhibiting metabolite LBQ657 [2]. Sacubitril hemicalcium salt, an inactive NEPi precursor, does not prevent collagen from building up in fibroblasts or cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. There was no discernible impact of active NEPi LBQ657 on cardiac fibroblasts. By comparison, cardiomyocyte enlargement is moderately inhibited by LBQ657 [3].

ln Vivo |
Sacubitril (AHU-377) is absorbed quickly in humans (tmax 0.5-1.1 h). The fast conversion of sacubitril hemicalcium salt to LBQ657 results in a tmax in 1.9–3.5 hours. Biologically active LBQ657 has an average half-life of 9.9–11.1 hours [2]. ANF raised urine natriuresis in dogs treated with a vehicle from 17.3±3.6 to 199.5±18.4 pequivkglmin. The effects of sacubitril (AHU-377) were markedly amplified in the animals. Urine production is similarly increased in animals given intravenous Sacubitril (AHU-377) [1].

Cell Assay |
Cellular Cardiac Hypertrophy and Fibrosis In Vitro [3]
Rat neonatal cardiac myocytes and fibroblasts were obtained from 1- to 2-day-old Sprague–Dawley rat pups by enzymatic collagenase digestion and prepared for in vitro assays as routinely used in our laboratory.22 Cardiac myocyte hypertrophy was assessed by AngII-stimulated (100 nmol/L) neonatal cardiac myocytes with 3[H]leucine incorporation for 60 hours. AngII-stimulated (100 nmol/L) collagen synthesis was determined by 3[H]proline incorporation in neonatal cardiac fibroblasts for 48 hours. Cells were preincubated with valsartan, AHU377, LBQ657, or valsartan+LBQ657 (ARNi) for 1 hour before stimulation. Dose ranges used and NEPi to ARB ratios aimed to replicate as far as possible doses of LCZ696 used clinically. The drugs were a kind gift of Novartis, Basel, Switzerland. In addition, exogenous B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) was added at different concentrations into the cell culture media just before AngII stimulation to assess the effect of direct augmentation of NP signaling. Experiments were repeated 2 to 4× in triplicate each time. |
Animal Protocol |
One week after MI, adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized to treatment for 4 weeks with LCZ696 (68 mg/kg body weight perorally; MI-ARNi, n=11) or vehicle (MI-vehicle, n=6). Five weeks after MI, MI-ARNi versus MI-vehicle demonstrated lower LV end-diastolic diameter (by echocardiography; 9.7±0.2 versus 10.5±0.3 mm), higher LV ejection fraction (60±2 versus 47±5%), diastolic wall strain (0.23±0.02 versus 0.13±0.02), and circular strain (-9.8±0.5 versus -7.3±0.5%; all P<0.05). LV pressure-volume loops confirmed improved LV function. Despite similar infarct size, MI-ARNi versus MI-vehicle had lower cardiac weights (P<0.01) and markedly reduced fibrosis in peri-infarct and remote myocardium. Angiotensin II-stimulated incorporation of 3[H]leucine in cardiac myocytes and 3[H]proline in cardiac fibroblast was used to evaluate hypertrophy and fibrosis, respectively. The neprilysin inhibitor component of LCZ696, LBQ657, inhibited hypertrophy but not fibrosis. The angiotensin receptor blocker component of LCZ696, valsartan inhibited both hypertrophy and fibrosis. Dual valsartan+LBQ augmented the inhibitory effects of valsartan and the highest doses completely abrogated angiotensin II-mediated effects.[3]
We determined the relationship between atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and blood pressure in anesthetized, normotensive rats. We studied the relationship between NEP inhibition and elevation of plasma cGMP evoked by ANP in the absence and presence of AHU-377, an ester prodrug of LBQ657 and a component of LCZ696 [1, 2]. Finally, using telemetry, we assessed the antihypertensive effects of AHU-377 in conscious Dahl-SS and DOCA-salt models of hypertension [4]. |
