MedKoo CAT#: 522411

CAS#: 475085-57-5

Description: MRE-269, also known as ACT-333679, is a long-acting and highly selective prostacyclin receptor agonist. MRE-269, the active form or metabolite of Selexipag (NS-304), is much more selective for the IP receptor than are the prostacyclin analogs beraprost and iloprost, which also have high affinity for the EP(3) receptor.

Product Data:
Biological target: MRE-269 is an active metabolite of selexipag, and acts as a selective IP receptor agonist.
In vitro activity: Prostacyclin (PGI(2)) and its analogs are useful for the treatment of various vascular disorders, but their half-lives are too short for widespread clinical application. To overcome this drawback, we have synthesized a novel diphenylpyrazine derivative, 2-[4-[(5,6-diphenylpyrazin-2-yl)(isopropyl)amino]butoxy]-N-(methylsulfonyl)acetamide (NS-304), a prodrug of the active form [4-[(5,6-diphenylpyrazin-2-yl)(isopropyl)amino]butoxy]acetic acid (MRE-269). NS-304 is an orally available and potent agonist for the PGI(2) receptor (IP receptor). The inhibition constant (K(i)) of MRE-269 for the human IP receptor was 20 nM; in contrast, the K(i) values for other prostanoid receptors were >2.6 microM. MRE-269 was therefore a highly selective agonist for the IP receptor. Reference: J Pharmacol Exp Ther. 2007 Sep;322(3):1181-8. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17545310/
In vivo activity: MRE-269 induced endothelium-independent vasodilation of rat extralobar pulmonary artery (EPA). The vasorelaxant effects of MRE-269 on rat small intralobar pulmonary artery (SIPA) and EPA were the same, while the other IP receptor agonists induced less vasodilation in SIPA than in EPA. Furthermore, a prostaglandin E receptor 3 antagonist enhanced the vasodilation induced by all IP receptor agonists tested except MRE-269.
