DrugBank Description: | XL784 is a potent inhibitor of the ADAM-10 metalloprotease enzyme, a target of significant interest because of its important role in blood vessel formation and cell proliferation. XL784 was specifically optimized to be MMP-1 sparing, thus potentially enhancing its safety profile and enabling higher dosing compared with other previously studied metalloprotease inhibitors. Results of single dose Phase I clinical trials of XL784 administered orally to 96 healthy volunteers have demonstrated that XL784 has attractive safety and pharmacokinetic profiles. It is being developed by Exelixis, Inc. |
CAS Number: | -- |
Molecular Weight: | |
DrugBank Indication: | For treatment in patients with diabetes who have clinically significant proteinuria. |
DrugBank Pharmacology: | XL784 is a potent inhibitor of the ADAM-10 metalloprotease (MP) enzyme, a target of significant interest because of its important role in blood vessel formation and cell proliferation. XL784 was specifically optimized to spare matrix metalloprotease 1 (MMP1), thus potentially significantly enhancing its safety profile and enabling higher dosing in comparison to other MMP inhibitors. Data from a Phase 1 clinical trial of orally administered XL784 in 70 healthy volunteers showed single doses of the compound to be free of side effects and to have an attractive pharmacokinetic profile. XL784 has been reformulated for chronic administration and has demonstrated dose-proportional absorption, was orally bioavailable and was well tolerated. |
DrugBank MoA: | XL784 is a potent small molecule inhibitor of the ADAM-10 metalloprotease enzyme, which plays a role in blood vessel formation and cell proliferation that can cause renal fibrosis and impairment. |
Targets: | Disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein 10 |
Inclusion Criteria: | Therapeutic strategy associated |
