AZD2716
Based on 1 Customer Validation
AZD2716 is an orally active secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) inhibitor. AZD2716 inhibits human GIIA sPLA2 (IC50=10 nM), human GV sPLA2 (IC50=40 nM), human GX sPLA2 (IC50=400 nM), snake venom sPLA2 (IC50=2 pM), and snake (Bothrops jararacussu) Lys49-PLA2-like toxin (Kd=110 μM). AZD2716 inhibits sPLA2 isoforms IIa, V, X, snake venom sPLA2s, and snake venom Lys49-PLA2-like toxin myotoxic activity via hydrophobic channel binding. AZD2716 suppresses GIIA sPLA2 production, neutralizes snake venom-induced myotoxicity, and improves survival in envenomed mice. AZD2716 can be used for the research of coronary artery disease, atherosclerosis, and snakebite envenoming.

AZD2716 potently inhibits plasma sPLA2 with an IC50 of 0.1 nM[1].
AZD2716 (266 nM-2.18 mM; 5 min) binds to BthTX-I with a dissociation constant (Kd) of 110 μM, demonstrating micromolar-range affinity[2].
AZD2716 (6.5 mg/mL; ~15 days, 300 ns) binds to the hydrophobic channels of dimeric PrTX-I (two inhibitor molecules per toxin dimer), preventing fatty acid access and full toxin activation stabilization, with stable binding maintained over 300 ns of molecular dynamics simulation[2].
AZD2716 (up to 25 μM) does not inhibit OATP1B1-mediated pivastatin uptake in OATP1B1-transfected HEK293 cells at concentrations up to 25 μM[3].
AZD2716 has an intrinsic clearance of 12 μL/min/106 cells in primary human hepatocytes[3].

AZD2716 potently inhibits multiple sPLA2 isoforms (GIIA, GV, GX) in cell-free assays, and inhibits sPLA2 activity in human plasma and atherosclerotic plaque homogenates, with IC50 values ranging from 0.1 nM to 400 nM[4].
AZD2716 inhibits sPLA2 activity and suppresses GIIA sPLA2 production in HepG2 cells, with IC50 values of <14 nM and 176 nM, respectively[4].

AZD2716 (5-10 mg/kg; i.v., single dose within 10 minutes of envenoming; p.o., two doses first within 10 minutes second at 6 hours) significantly improves survival in envenomed mice versus venom-only controls, with greater efficacy against viper venoms than elapid venoms, but provides a weaker survival benefit than Varespladib (HY-13402)[5].
