Description: Lumacaftor (formerly VX809; VRT-826809; VRT826809; VX-809; Orkambi) is a potent and orally bioavailable CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) corrector with antifibrotic effects.

ProtocolIn VitroIn fischer rat thyroid (FRT) cells, Lumacaftor improves F508del-CFTR maturation by 7.1±0.3 fold (n=3) compared with vehicle-treated cells (EC50, 0.1±0.1 μM; n=3) and enhances F508del-CFTR-mediated chloride transport by approximately fivefold (EC50, 0.5±0.1 μM; n=3). At Lumacaftor concentrations greater than 10 μM, the response is reduced, resulting in a bell-shaped dose-response relationship with an IC50 of approximately 100 μM. Lumacaftor is orally bioavailable in rats and achieved in vivo plasma levels significantly above concentrations required for in vitro efficacy
In VivoOral dosing of 1 mg/kg Lumacaftor in male Sprague-Dawley rats results in a Cmax of 2.4±1.3 μM with a t1/2 of 7.7±0.4 h (mean±SD; n=3), indicating that that Lumacaftor is orally bioavailable and able to reach plasma levels that significantly exceeded EC50s for F508del-CFTR correction

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in µL DMSO(Master liquid concentration mg/mL) ,Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug.
Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take µL DMSO master liquid, next add µL PEG300, mix and clarify, next add µL Tween 80,mix and clarify, next add µL ddH2O,mix and clarify.
Note:
  • (1) Please be sure that the solution is clear before the addition of next solvent. Dissolution methods like vortex, ultrasound or warming and heat may be used to aid dissolving.
  • (2) Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order.
