Volanesorsen (ISIS 304801) is an antisense oligonucleotide inhibitor of apolipoprotein CIII (apo-CIII) mRNA that reduces triglyceride levels and improves insulin resistance. Volanesorsen is being studied in the treatment of hypertriglyceridemia, familial chylosiderosis syndrome, and type 2 diabetes.

The free form of the compound is prone to instability, it is advisable to consider the stable salt form (Volanesorsen sodium) that retains the same biological activity.

Description

Volanesorsen (ISIS 304801) is an antisense oligonucleotide inhibitor of apolipoprotein CIII (apo-CIII) mRNA that reduces triglyceride levels and improves insulin resistance. Volanesorsen is being studied in the treatment of hypertriglyceridemia, familial chylosiderosis syndrome, and type 2 diabetes[1][2][3][4][5].

In Vivo

Volanesorsen (1.5-50 mg/kg; i.p.; once a week for 2 weeks) dose-dependently reduces human apolipoprotein CIII (apo-CIII) mRNA, plasma apo-CIII protein and triglyceride (TG) levels in human apo-CIII transgenic mice[1].
Volanesorsen (4-40 mg/kg; s.c.; once a week for 13 weeks) dose-responsively reduces apoC-III mRNA levels in the liver of cynomolgus monkeys[1].
Volanesorsen (10 mg/kg; s.c.; once weekly for 10 weeks) reduces plasma triglyceride levels in hypertriglyceridemic rhesus monkeys[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: Chow-Fed Cynomolgus[1]
Dosage: 4, 8, 12 and 40 mg/kg
Administration: Subcutaneous injection (s.c.) Once a week for 13 weeks
Result: Reduced apoC-III mRNA by 47%, 51%, 80%, and 89% in a dose-responsive manner.
Animal Model: Rhesus monkeys with hypertriglyceridemia after taking high fructose supplements[1]
Dosage: 10 mg/kg
Administration: Subcutaneous injection (s.c.) Once a week for 10 weeks
Result: Reduced plasma triglycerides, very low–density lipoprotein (VLDL)+chylomicron triglyceride, and decreased postprandial triglyceride excursion, while increasing high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) in hypertriglyceridemic rhesus monkeys.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
