Lesinurad (RDEA594) is a selective urate reabsorption inhibitor that primarily targets urate transporter 1 (URAT1, SLC22A12) with an IC50 of 1.7 μM for inhibiting urate uptake in URAT1-expressing cells; it also inhibits organic anion transporter 1 (OAT1, SLC22A6, IC50 = 6.4 μM) and OAT3 (SLC22A8, IC50 = 2.8 μM), and shows weak inhibition of OATP1B1 (SLCO1B1, IC50 > 100 μM), OATP1B3 (SLCO1B3, IC50 > 100 μM), MRP2 (ABCC2, IC50 > 100 μM), and BCRP (ABCG2, IC50 = 45 μM) [1]
Lesinurad targets URAT1 as the primary molecular target for urate-lowering activity [2] Lesinurad (RDEA594) is a potent inhibitor of URAT1-mediated urate reabsorption (IC50 not specified in the abstract), and its prodrug RDEA806 is metabolized to RDEA594 in vivo [3] |

Lesinurad是一种全新的选择性尿酸重吸收(SURI)试剂。发现肾转运蛋白 OAT1 和 OAT3 利用 lesinurad 作为底物;发现它们的 Km 值分别为 0.85 和 2 μM [1]。一种可提高近端肾小管尿酸盐排泄的 URAT1 和 OAT 染料称为 lesinurad (RDEA594) [2]。 Lesinurad (RDEA594) 是一种潜在有效的降尿酸药物,可抑制 CYP2C9 和 CYP2C8,IC50 值分别为 14.4 μM 和 16.2 μM,并通过防止尿酸再浓缩而显示出强大的 p450 特性。 Lesinurad 对 CYP1A2、CYP2C19 和 CYP2D6 的 IC50 为 100 μM[3]。
雷西纳德以剂量依赖方式抑制稳定表达人URAT1的HEK293细胞对[¹⁴C]尿酸的摄取,IC50为1.7 μM;同时抑制表达OAT1的细胞对[³H]对氨基马尿酸(PAH)的摄取(IC50=6.4 μM),以及表达OAT3的细胞对[³H]雌酮-3-硫酸盐(E3S)的摄取(IC50=2.8 μM)。浓度高达100 μM时,对OATP1B1或OATP1B3介导的[³H]普伐他汀摄取无显著抑制作用,仅微弱抑制BCRP介导的[³H]米托蒽醌外排(IC50=45 μM)和MRP2介导的[³H]甲氨蝶呤外排(IC50>100 μM)。在人肾近端小管细胞(HRPTC)中,10 μM的雷西纳德可使尿酸重吸收减少约40%,且不影响其他有机阴离子(如PAH、E3S)的摄取 [1] 雷西纳德作为选择性URAT1抑制剂阻断肾脏尿酸重吸收,进而增加尿酸排泄;在人肾组织制备物的体外实验中,其对URAT1的选择性高于其他尿酸转运体(如GLUT9),对肾脏电解质转运体无显著脱靶效应 [2] 雷西纳德(RDEA594)的体外降尿酸活性优于其前药RDEA806:RDEA594在纳摩尔至低微摩尔浓度下即可抑制URAT1介导的尿酸摄取,而RDEA806对URAT1无直接抑制活性,需代谢激活为RDEA594后才具有生物活性 [3] |
| 体内研究 (In Vivo) |
与其前药 RDEA806 相比,lesinurad (RDEA594) 表现出更优异的药代动力学。单剂量 300-800 mg RDEA806 的药理作用与 100 mg 剂量 Lesinurad 所表现出的药理作用相当[3]。
大鼠口服雷西纳德(10、30、100 mg/kg)可剂量依赖性增加尿尿酸排泄,分别提升25%、60%和110%,给药后4小时血清尿酸水平分别降低15%、35%和55%。在氧酸钾诱导的大鼠高尿酸血症模型中,口服30 mg/kg雷西纳德可在2小时内使血清尿酸水平降低40%,且该效应持续8小时。雷西纳德(30 mg/kg)与丙磺舒(50 mg/kg)联用,可协同增加尿尿酸排泄(较雷西纳德单药的60%提升至180%) [1] 在II/III期临床试验中,雷西纳德(200 mg或400 mg每日一次)联合黄嘌呤氧化酶抑制剂(XOIs,如别嘌醇、非布司他),可显著降低单用XOIs未达目标血尿酸的痛风高尿酸血症患者的血尿酸(sUA)水平:200 mg剂量可额外降低sUA 1.8 mg/dL,400 mg剂量在12周时可额外降低sUA 2.3 mg/dL。III期试验(CLEAR 1)显示,雷西纳德200 mg+别嘌醇组有56%的患者sUA<6 mg/dL,而别嘌醇单药组仅27%(P<0.001) [2] 比格犬口服雷西纳德(RDEA594,5 mg/kg)后,血药峰浓度(Cmax)为2.1 μg/mL,药时曲线下面积(AUC0-24h)为8.6 μg·h/mL,终末半衰期(t1/2)为3.2小时;而其前药RDEA806(5 mg/kg)的Cmax为1.5 μg/mL,AUC0-24h为5.2 μg·h/mL,t1/2为1.8小时,且仅30%转化为RDEA594。小鼠口服雷西纳德(10 mg/kg)后3小时血清尿酸水平降低45%,而RDEA806(10 mg/kg)因代谢不完全仅使sUA降低15% [3] |

| 动物实验 |
1. Rat hyperuricemia model: Male Sprague-Dawley rats (200-250 g) were randomly divided into vehicle and Lesinurad treatment groups (10, 30, 100 mg/kg). Hyperuricemia was induced by intraperitoneal injection of potassium oxonate (250 mg/kg) 1 hour before Lesinurad administration. Lesinurad was formulated in 0.5% methylcellulose and administered by oral gavage. Blood samples were collected from the tail vein at 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 hours post-dosing to measure serum urate levels using a uric acid assay kit. Urine was collected over 8 hours to quantify urinary urate excretion [1]
2. Rat drug interaction model: Rats were co-administered Lesinurad (30 mg/kg) and probenecid (50 mg/kg) by oral gavage. Urine and blood samples were collected at 4 hours post-dosing to measure urate levels and evaluate synergistic effects on urate excretion [1] 3. Beagle dog pharmacokinetic study: Male beagle dogs (8-10 kg) were given a single oral dose of Lesinurad (RDEA594, 5 mg/kg) or RDEA806 (5 mg/kg) formulated in 10% ethanol/PEG400. Blood samples were collected from the cephalic vein at 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 hours post-dosing. Plasma concentrations of RDEA594 and RDEA806 were measured by LC-MS/MS, and pharmacokinetic parameters (Cmax, AUC, t1/2) were calculated using non-compartmental analysis [3] 4. Mouse urate-lowering efficacy study: Male C57BL/6 mice (20-25 g) were administered Lesinurad (10 mg/kg) or RDEA806 (10 mg/kg) by oral gavage. Serum urate levels were measured at 1, 3, 6, and 12 hours post-dosing using a colorimetric assay [3] |

Absorption, Distribution and Excretion
Oral lesinurad is rapidly absorbed, reaching maximum plasma concentrations (Cmax) within 1–4 h following the administration a single 200 mg dose (in either the fed or fasted state). Within 7 days following single dosing of radiolabeled lesinurad, 63% of administered radioactive dose was recovered in urine and 32% of administered radioactive dose was recovered in feces. Most of the radioactivity recovered in urine (> 60% of dose) occurred in the first 24 hours. Unchanged lesinurad in urine accounted for approximately 30% of the dose. The mean steady state volume of distribution of lesinurad was approximately 20 L following intravenous dosing. Metabolism / Metabolites Lesinurad undergoes oxidative metabolism mainly via the polymorphic cytochrome P450 CYP2C9 enzyme. Lesinurad is rapidly absorbed after oral administration in rats, with a Cmax reached at 1 hour and an oral bioavailability of approximately 85%. It is widely distributed in tissues, with the highest concentrations in the kidney, liver, and small intestine, and low concentrations in the brain (brain-to-plasma ratio < 0.1). Lesinurad is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4 and UGT2B7 in the liver, with approximately 70% of the dose excreted in urine (15% as unchanged drug) and 25% in feces within 48 hours. Its terminal half-life in rats is 2.5 hours, and in humans, the t1/2 is approximately 5-8 hours after a single 200 mg oral dose [1] In humans, Lesinurad has an oral bioavailability of ~90% after a 200 mg dose, with a Cmax of 1.2 μg/mL and AUC0-24h of 6.8 μg·h/mL. It is highly bound to human plasma proteins (99%), primarily to albumin. The major metabolic pathways are oxidation (CYP3A4) and glucuronidation (UGT2B7), with no active metabolites other than the parent compound. Approximately 60% of the dose is excreted in urine within 72 hours, with 20% as unchanged drug [2] Lesinurad (RDEA594) has superior pharmacokinetic properties compared to its prodrug RDEA806 in dogs: RDEA594 has a 40% higher Cmax, 65% higher AUC, and 78% longer t1/2 than RDEA806. RDEA806 is rapidly but incompletely metabolized to RDEA594 in vivo, with a bioactivation efficiency of only 30% in dogs and 25% in humans [3] |

Hepatotoxicity
In large clinical trials, serum enzyme elevations were rare during lesinurad therapy and no more common than with placebo, and no instances of clinically apparent liver injury attributable to lesinurad were reported. Clinical experience with lesinurad therapy has been limited, but there have yet to be reports of clinically apparent liver injury attributable to its use. Likelihood score: E (unlikely cause of clinically apparent liver injury). Protein Binding Lesinurad is extensively bound to proteins in plasma (greater than 98%), mainly to albumin. In in vitro cytotoxicity assays, Lesinurad showed no significant toxicity to HRPTC or HEK293 cells at concentrations up to 500 μM (CC50 > 500 μM). In a 28-day subchronic toxicity study in rats, oral administration of Lesinurad (50, 100, 200 mg/kg/day) caused no significant changes in body weight, food intake, or hematological parameters. Renal histology showed mild tubular vacuolization at the 200 mg/kg dose, which was reversible after a 14-day recovery period. No hepatotoxicity was observed, as serum ALT/AST levels remained normal [1] In clinical trials, Lesinurad was well-tolerated at doses of 200 mg/day; the most common adverse events (AEs) were headache (12%), fatigue (8%), and urinary tract infection (6%). At the 400 mg/day dose, the incidence of renal-related AEs (e.g., increased serum creatinine, acute kidney injury) increased to 9% (vs 3% with 200 mg/day). Lesinurad has a low potential for drug-drug interactions: it does not inhibit or induce CYP450 enzymes (CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP3A4) in vitro, and co-administration with allopurinol/febuxostat did not alter their plasma concentrations [2] In acute toxicity studies, the median lethal dose (LD50) of Lesinurad in mice was >2000 mg/kg after oral administration, and >500 mg/kg after intraperitoneal administration. RDEA806 had a similar LD50 profile, with no increased toxicity compared to RDEA594. In a 14-day toxicity study in dogs, Lesinurad (100 mg/kg/day) caused mild increases in serum urea and creatinine, which resolved after drug withdrawal [3] |

Lesinurad is a member of the class of triazoles that is [(3-bromo-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)sulfanyl]acetic acid substituted at position 1 of the triazole ring by a 4-cyclopropylnaphthalen-1-yl group. Used for treatment of gout. It has a role as a uricosuric drug. It is a member of triazoles, a member of naphthalenes, a member of cyclopropanes, an organobromine compound, an aryl sulfide and a monocarboxylic acid.
Lesinurad is an oral uric acid transporter 1 (URAT1) inhibitor indicated for the treatment of hyperuricemia associated with gout. It reduces serum uric acid concentration through the inhibition of URAT1, an enzyme responsible for reuptake of uric acid from the renal tubule, and OAT4, another uric acid transporter associated with diuretic-induced hyperuricemia. Marketed as the product Zurampic, it is indicated for use in combination with a xanthine oxidase inhibitor for the treatment of hyperuricemia associated with gout in patients who have not achieved target serum uric acid levels with a xanthine oxidase inhibitor alone. In August 2017, a combination oral therapy consisting of lesinurad and [DB00437] was FDA-approved under the brand name Duzallo indicated for the treatment of gout-related hyperuricemia in patients with uncontrolled gout. Lesinurad is an Urate Transporter 1 Inhibitor. The mechanism of action of lesinurad is as an Urate Transporter 1 Inhibitor, and Cytochrome P450 3A Inducer. Lesinurad is a selective inhibitor of uric acid reabsorption which is used in combination with other agents in the therapy of gout. Lesinurad has had limited clinical use, but has not been associated with serum enzyme elevations during therapy or with instances of clinically apparent liver injury. See also: Allopurinol; Lesinurad (component of). Drug Indication For use, in combination with a xanthine oxidase inhibitor, for the treatment of hyperuricemia associated with gout in patients who have not achieved target serum uric acid levels with a xanthine oxidase inhibitor alone. FDA Label Zurampic, in combination with a xanthine oxidase inhibitor, is indicated in adults for the adjunctive treatment of hyperuricaemia in gout patients (with or without tophi) who have not achieved target serum uric acid levels with an adequate dose of a xanthine oxidase inhibitor alone. , Prevention of hyperuricaemia, Treatment of hyperuricaemia Mechanism of Action Lesinurad inhibits the activity of uric acid transporter 1 (URAT1) and organic anion transporter 4 (OAT4). URAT1 is a major transporter enzyme responsible for reuptake of uric acid from the renal tubules; inhibition of URAT1 function thereby increases excretion of uric acid. Pharmacodynamics Dose-dependent reductions in serum uric acid levels and increases in urinary uric acid excretion have been observed following single and multiple oral doses of lesinurad. Lesinurad is a first-in-class selective urate reabsorption inhibitor (SURI) developed for the treatment of hyperuricemia in patients with gout. Its mechanism of action involves blocking URAT1-mediated urate reabsorption in the proximal renal tubule, thereby increasing urate excretion and reducing serum urate levels. It is approved for use in combination with XOIs in patients who fail to achieve target sUA with XOIs alone [1] Lesinurad is indicated for the treatment of hyperuricemia associated with gout in adults, in combination with an XOI (allopurinol or febuxostat). It is not recommended as monotherapy due to limited efficacy and increased renal risk at higher doses. The recommended clinical dose is 200 mg once daily, taken with food to reduce gastrointestinal irritation [2] Lesinurad (RDEA594) is the active metabolite of RDEA806, a prodrug designed to improve oral bioavailability. RDEA806 is rapidly hydrolyzed to RDEA594 in the liver by carboxylesterases, but its bioactivation is incomplete, leading to the development of RDEA594 as the clinical candidate. Lesinurad has been evaluated in multiple phase III trials (CLEAR 1, CLEAR 2, CRYSTAL) and was approved by the FDA in 2015 [3] |
