Emixustat(ACU-4429) is a first in class small-molecule visual cycle modulator that inhibits the isomerase complex. As an inhibitor of visual cycle isomerase, the IC50 value is 4.4 nM[1].
Emixustat strongly inhibits 11-cis-retinol production with an IC50 value of 232±3 nM[2]. A concentration-dependent reduction of 11-cis-ROL production (i.e., inhibition of RPE65 isomerase activity) by emixustat(10-5 to 10-10 M)[1].
Emixustat(0.01-3.0 mg/kg; p.o) was found to reduce the production of visual chromophore (11-cis retinal) in wild-type mice following a single oral dose (ED50 = 0.18 mg/kg) [1]. In 40 subjects (mean age, 38 years) Emixustat (n = 30) (5, 10, 20, 30, or 40 mg; 14-day) was rapidly absorbed (median T(max), 3.0-5 hours) and readily eliminated (mean t(1/2), 4.6-7.9 hours), and mean C(max) generally increased in proportion to dose. Systemic adverse events were minimal[3]. Emixustat significantly abates permeability after Ischemia Reperfusion(IR) on vascular permeability in mice[4].
