Description of Linaclotide

Linaclotide is a potent and selective guanylate cyclase C agonist; developed for the treatment of constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-C) and chronic constipation.

Linaclotide inhibits in vitro [125I]-STa binding to intestinal mucosal membranes from wt mice in a concentration-dependent manner. In contrast, [125I]-STa binding to these membranes from GC-C null mice is significantly decreased. After incubation in vitro in jejunal fluid for 30 min, linaclotide is completely degraded[1]. Linaclotide acts on guanylate cyclase-C receptors on the luminal membrane to increase chloride and bicarbonate secretions into the intestine and inhibit the absorption of sodium ions, thus increasing the secretion of water into the lumen and improving defecation; the drug is minimally absorbed into the systemic circulation[2].

Pharmacokinetic analysis shows very low oral bioavailability (0.10%). In intestinal secretion and transit models, linaclotide exhibits significant pharmacological effects in wt, but not in GC-C null mice: induction of increased fluid secretion into surgically ligated jejunal loops is accompanied by the secretion of elevated levels of cyclic guanosine-3’,5-monophosphate and accelerated gastrointestinal transit[1]. Linaclotide significantly increases weekly spontaneous bowel movements and complete spontaneous bowel movements (CSBMs) while reducing abdominal pain in patients with chronic constipation[2].

Protocol of Linaclotide

Animal experiment:

Mice: To determine oral bioavailability, three groups (n=3) of female CD-1 mice receive linaclotide (8 mg/kg) intravenously (i.v.), while two groups (n=3) receive linaclotide (8 mg/kg) by gavage (p.o.). Blood is allowed to clot for 5 min, centrifuged at 13,000×g for 3 min, and the serum is collected and stored at −80 °C until sample preparation and analysis by LC-MS/MS[1].

Calculation results:

Working concentration: mg/ml;

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL saline, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
3. All of the above co-solvents are available for purchase on the GlpBio website.
