Structure:
DrugBank Description: Lifitegrast is a FDA approved drug for the treatment of keratoconjunctivitis sicca (dry eye syndrome). It is a tetrahydroisoquinoline derivative and lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 ( LFA-1) antagonist that was discovered through the rational design process. The ophthalmic solution was approved in July, 2016 under the trade name Xiidra. It has shown to protect the corneal surface and alleviate the symptoms of dry eye syndrome with fast onset of action and well tolerated profile in both local and systemic setting .
CAS Number: 1025967-78-5
Molecular Weight: 615.48
DrugBank Indication: For the treatment of signs and symptoms of keratoconjunctivitis sicca (dry eye syndrome).
DrugBank Pharmacology: Lifitegrast addresses both the symptoms and the resulting ocular surface damage by interfering with ocular inflammatory cycle . Lifitegrast is a lymphocyte function–associated antigen-1 antagonist through direct competitive antagonism and sequentially inhibits the T-cell recruitment, activation, and proinflammatory cytokine release associated with dry eye syndrome .
DrugBank MoA: Lifitegrast binds to the integrin lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1), a cell surface protein found on leukocytes and blocks the interaction of LFA-1 with its cognate ligand intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1). ICAM-1 may be overexpressed in corneal and conjunctival tissues in dry eye disease. LFA-1/ICAM-1 interaction can contribute to the formation of an immunological synapse resulting in T-cell proliferation/activation and migration to target tissues. In vitro studies demonstrated that lifitegrast may inhibit T-cell adhesion to ICAM-1 in a human T-cell line and may inhibit secretion of inflammatory cytokines, inflammatory mediators, chemokines, TNF-α, and IL-1 in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells.
Targets: Integrin alpha-L antagonist
