- NS 304 - ACT 293987 - Uptravi- Soluble in DMSO
- MF: C26H32N4O4S
- MW: 496.62
Description
Selexipag (NS-304, ACT-293987) is an oral, long-acting prodrug of the selective prostacyclin (IP) receptor agonist MRE-269:
- Pharmacokinetics & Metabolism: Rapidly hydrolyzed by hepatic carboxylesterase 1 (CES1) into MRE-269. Selexipag has an IP receptor Ki of 260 nM, compared to the sub-nanomolar shift (Ki = 12–20 nM) of its active metabolite MRE-269.
- High Selectivity Profile: Spares traditional prostanoid receptors (EP1-EP4, DP, FP), significantly reducing standard gastrointestinal toxicities.
- Research & Disease Applications: Supports robust mechanistic studies of IP receptor pharmacology in hypertension models across biochemical, cellular, and in vivo platforms.
- Therapeutic Efficacy: Proven capable of reversing vascular endothelial dysfunction, pulmonary arterial wall hypertrophy, and right ventricular hypertrophy.
