Sulfenic Acid Modification of Endothelin B Receptor is Responsible for the Benefit of a Nonsteroidal Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonist in Renal Ischemia.

ABSTRACT: AKI is associated with high mortality rates and the development of CKD. Ischemia/reperfusion (IR) is an important cause of AKI. Unfortunately, there is no available pharmacologic approach to prevent or limit renal IR injury in common clinical practice. Renal IR is characterized by diminished nitric oxide bioavailability and reduced renal blood flow; however, the mechanisms leading to these alterations are poorly understood. In a rat model of renal IR, we investigated whether the administration of the novel nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonist BR-4628 can prevent or treat the renal dysfunction and tubular injury induced by IR. Renal injury induced by ischemia was associated with increased oxidant damage, which led to a cysteine sulfenic acid modification in endothelin B receptor and consequently decreased endothelial nitric oxide synthase activation. These modifications were efficiently prevented by nonsteroidal MR antagonism. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the protective effect of BR-4628 against IR was lost when a selective endothelin B receptor antagonist was coadministered. These data describe a new mechanism for reduced endothelial nitric oxide synthase activation during renal IR that can be blocked by MR antagonism with BR-4628.

Project description:Background and objectivesOcedurenone (KBP-5074) is a novel nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist that has demonstrated safety and efficacy in clinical trials in patients with uncontrolled hypertension and stage 3b/4 chronic kidney disease. The aim of this study was to assess the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of ocedurenone in individuals with moderate hepatic impairment.MethodsThis study was an open-label, nonrandomized, multi-center study investigating the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of a single dose of 0.5 mg ocedurenone administered orally in male and female subjects with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh B, score 7-9) compared with subjects with normal hepatic function. Serial blood samples were obtained from predose through 264 h postdose for analysis of ocedurenone concentrations using a validated liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method. Free ocedurenone concentrations in plasma were determined ex vivo using equilibrium dialysis.ResultsFollowing a single oral dose of 0.5 mg ocedurenone administered to subjects with moderate hepatic impairment and subjects with normal hepatic function, ocedurenone was steadily absorbed with median time to peak drug concentration (Tmax) values of 4 and 3 h, respectively. After reaching maximum plasma concentration (Cmax), the disposition of ocedurenone appeared to be biphasic. The geometric mean t1/2 values for the moderate hepatic impairment group and normal hepatic function group were 75.6 and 65.7 h, respectively. Ocedurenone systemic exposure, as assessed by area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) was 23.5-26.6% lower in subjects with moderate hepatic impairment versus subjects with normal hepatic function, whereas Cmax was 41.2% lower. Ocedurenone was determined to be > 99.7% bound to total protein in plasma. Hepatic impairment appeared not to change plasma protein binding or the unbound free fraction. Ocedurenone was safe and well-tolerated in all participants.ConclusionsConsidering the long half-life of ocedurenone and previously completed clinical studies using 0.25 mg and 0.5 mg doses demonstrating efficacy and safety, the observed decreases in AUC and Cmax do not warrant a dose adjustment in patients with moderate hepatic impairment. A single 0.5 mg dose of ocedurenone was safe and well-tolerated when administered to subjects with moderate hepatic impairment and subjects with normal hepatic function.
