Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
AZD8233 is highly specific to reducing PCSK9 mRNA in human cells, showing ≥10-fold IC50 selectivity over all other transcripts[1].
AZD8233 (5-134 nM; 8 h; 12 h post-transfection) silenced PCSK9 comparably to P-12c in human HepG2 cells at 5 nM, while P-12c exhibited markedly superior efficiency at higher doses[4].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
-
Cell Line:human HepG2 cells
-
Concentration:5, 15, 44, and 134 nM
-
Incubation Time:8 h (incubation); 12 h post-transfection (RNA analysis)
-
Result:No numerical PCSK9 silencing value for AZD8233 alone was reported.
P-12c displayed comparable PCSK9 silencing efficacy to AZD8233 at 5 nM, while P-12c exhibited markedly superior efficiency at 15, 44, and 134 nM.
In Vivo
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
-
Animal Model:heterozygous human PCSK9 transgenic (huPCSK9 Tg) (male, 5 months old)[1]
-
Dosage:0.25, 0.5, 1, 2.5, and 5 mg/kg
-
Administration:s.c.; days 1, 5, 8, 15, and 23
-
Result:Liver exposure increased dose-dependently.
Liver exposure of 4 µg/g (3 and 5 µg/g; 5th and 95th percentiles) was predicted to result in 80% reduction in plasma PCSK9.
A dose of AZD8233 0.5 mg/kg was required to reduce PCSK9 by 80%.
The liver exposure-PCSK9 model estimated IC50 = 2.0 µg/g (1.4 and 2.9 µg/g; 5th and 95th percentiles) and Hill coefficient h = 2.2 (1.6 and 3.8).
Concomitant dose-dependent reductions of human plasma PCSK9 and LDL cholesterol were observed.
