Atidafonat is an orally active sodium-dependent phosphate transporter inhibitor, with IC50 values of 6.8, 1.5, and 1.7 μM against human NaPi-IIb, PiT-1, PiT-2, respectively; and IC50 values of 3.9, 1.9, and 1.7 μM against rat NaPi-IIb, PiT-1, PiT-2, respectively. Atidafonat inhibits intestinal phosphate absorption, increases fecal phosphate excretion, reduces urinary phosphate excretion, and decreases the levels of serum phosphate, FGF23, and adult parathyroid hormone. Atidafonat ameliorates ectopic thoracic aortic calcification, renal injury and hyperphosphatemia, and inhibits the expression of fibrosis markers. Atidafonat can be used for the research of hyperphosphatemia and chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) [1] [2].
In Vivo, Atidafonat (0.050-0.50%; p.o.; daily; 3 days) dose-dependently increases fecal phosphorus excretion, decreases urinary phosphorus excretion, and reduces serum phosphorus levels in normal male Wistar rats, confirming inhibition of intestinal phosphate absorption[1]. Atidafonat (0.015-1.0%; p.o.; daily; 14 days) dose-dependently reduces serum phosphate, FGF-23, and intact PTH levels, increases fecal phosphorus excretion, and decreases urinary phosphorus excretion in adenine-induced hyperphosphatemic male Wistar rats, with greater potency than a NaPi-IIb-selective inhibitor at equivalent doses[1]. Atidafonat (0.3%; p.o.; ad libitum; day 21 to day 116) sustainably suppresses serum phosphate, FGF-23, and intact PTH levels, ameliorates aortic calcification, reduces serum creatinine, and improves kidney histopathology and fibrotic gene expression in chronic anti-Thy1.1 nephritis male Fisher rats[1]. Atidafonat (0.3%; food admixture; ad libitum; 5 weeks) significantly ameliorates hyperphosphatemia, improves kidney function, and reduces glomerular crescent formation in anti-GBM-induced glomerulonephritis rats, with a significant reduction in serum creatinine to 1.31 mg/dL and glomerular crescent formation to 66.1% of total glomeruli[2].
In Vitro, Atidafonat (various concentrations) inhibits phosphate uptake in normal rat intestinal brush border membrane vesicles with an IC50 of 3.1 μmol/l[1]. Atidafonat (0.3-3.0 μM; 24 h) dose-dependently suppresses high phosphate-induced upregulation of Collagen 1A1, Collagen 3A1, and α-smooth muscle actin mRNA in hMes 130hT-9 human mesangial cells[2].
