Vismodegib
Vismodegib is an orally bioavailable, small molecule inhibitor of SMO and the Hedgehog (Hh) pathway, with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon oral administration, vismodegib targets, binds to and inhibits the cell membrane-spanning G-protein coupled receptor SMO, which may result in the suppression of Hh pathway signaling and a decrease in tumor cell proliferation and survival. SMO is activated upon binding of Hh ligand to the cell surface receptor Patched (PTCH); inappropriate activation of Hh signaling and uncontrolled cellular proliferation may be associated with SMO mutations.
Vismodegib is a Hedgehog Pathway Inhibitor. The mechanism of action of vismodegib is as a Smoothened Receptor Antagonist.

Dysregulated hedgehog signaling is the pivotal molecular abnormality underlying basal-cell carcinomas. Vismodegib is a new orally administered hedgehog-pathway inhibitor that produces objective responses in locally advanced and metastatic basal-cell carcinomas. /The researchers/ tested the anti-basal-cell carcinoma efficacy of vismodegib in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in patients with the basal-cell nevus syndrome at three clinical centers from September 2009 through January 2011. The primary end point was reduction in the incidence of new basal-cell carcinomas that were eligible for surgical resection (surgically eligible) with vismodegib versus placebo after 3 months; secondary end points included reduction in the size of existing basal-cell carcinomas. In 41 patients followed for a mean of 8 months (range, 1 to 15) after enrollment, the per-patient rate of new surgically eligible basal-cell carcinomas was lower with vismodegib than with placebo (2 vs. 29 cases per group per year, P<0.001), as was the size (percent change from baseline in the sum of the longest diameter) of existing clinically significant basal-cell carcinomas (-65% vs. -11%, P=0.003). In some patients, all basal-cell carcinomas clinically regressed. No tumors progressed during treatment with vismodegib. Patients receiving vismodegib routinely had grade 1 or 2 adverse events of loss of taste, muscle cramps, hair loss, and weight loss. Overall, 54% of patients (14 of 26) receiving vismodegib discontinued drug treatment owing to adverse events. At 1 month, vismodegib use had reduced the hedgehog target-gene expression by basal-cell carcinoma by 90% (P<0.001) and diminished tumor-cell proliferation, but apoptosis was not affected. No residual basal-cell carcinoma was detectable in 83% of biopsy samples taken from sites of clinically regressed basal-cell carcinomas. Vismodegib reduces the basal-cell carcinoma tumor burden and blocks growth of new basal-cell carcinomas in patients with the basal-cell nevus syndrome. The adverse events associated with treatment led to discontinuation in over half of treated patients. Comment in The following popper user interface control may not be accessible.

5.4 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

The absolute bioavailability of a single dose is 31.8%. Absorption is saturable and is not affected by food.


Route of Elimination

Vismodegib is mostly excreted unchanged, and the main route of elimination is by the feces (82%) and the urine accounts for 4.4%.


Volume of Distribution

Vismodegib has a volume of distribution of 16.4 to 26.6 L.


The volume of distribution of vismodegib ranges from 16.4 to 26.6 L. Vismodegib plasma protein binding in patients is greater than 99%. Vismodegib binds to both human serum albumin and alpha-1-acid glycoprotein (AAG) and binding to AAG is saturable.

While recent publications have suggested the pharmacokinetics (PK) of vismodegib appear to be non-linear, there has not been a report describing the mechanisms of non-linearity. This study provides evidence that two separate processes, namely, solubility-limited absorption and concentration-dependent plasma protein binding, can explain the non-linear PK of vismodegib. This study provides quantitative results which can account for the lower than expected accumulation of vismodegib with continuous daily dosing. Vismodegib has demonstrated clinical activity in patients with advanced basal cell carcinoma. The pharmacokinetics (PK) of vismodegib are non-linear. The objective of this study was to determine whether vismodegib PK change following repeated dosing by administering a tracer intravenous (iv) dose of (14) C-vismodegib with single and multiple oral doses. Healthy post menopausal female subjects (n= 6/group) received either a single or daily 150 mg vismodegib oral dose with a (14) C-labelled 10 ug iv bolus dose administered 2 hr after the single or last oral dose (day 7). Plasma samples were assayed for vismodegib by LC-MS/MS and for (14) C-vismodegib by accelerator mass spectrometry. Following a single i.v. dose, mean clearance, volume of distribution and absolute bioavailability were 43.4 mL hr(-1) , 16.4 l and 31.8%, respectively. Parallel concentration-time profiles following single oral and i.v. administration of vismodegib indicated elimination rate limited PK. Following iv administration at steady-state, mean clearance and volume of distribution were 78.5 mL hr(-1) and 26.8 L, respectively. Comparison of iv PK parameters after single and multiple oral dosing showed similar half-life, increased clearance and volume of distribution (81% and 63% higher, respectively) and decreased bioavailability (77% lower) after repeated dosing. Relative to single dose, the unbound fraction of vismodegib increased 2.4-fold with continuous daily dosing. Vismodegib exhibited a long terminal half-life after oral and iv administration, moderate absolute bioavailability and non-linear PK after repeated dosing. Results from this study suggest that the non-linear PK of vismodegib result from two separate, non-linear processes, namely solubility limited absorption and high affinity, saturable plasma protein binding.

5.5 Metabolism/Metabolites

The main metabolic enzymes are CYP2C9 and CYP3A4, however more than 98% of total systemic vismodegib is not metabolized. Metabolic pathways of vismodegib in humans include oxidation, glucuronidation, and pyridine ring cleavage. The two most abundant oxidative metabolites recovered in feces are produced in vitro by recombinant CYP2C9 and CYP3A4/5.


Greater than 98% of the total circulating drug-related components are the parent drug. Metabolic pathways of vismodegib in humans include oxidation, glucuronidation, and pyridine ring cleavage.

2-Chloro-N-(4-chloro-3-(pyridin-2-yl)-phenyl)-4-(methylsulfonyl)-benzamide (GDC-0449, vismodegib) is a potent and selective first-in-class small-molecule inhibitor of the Hedgehog signaling pathway and is currently in clinical development. In this study, we investigated the metabolic fate and disposition of GDC-0449 in rats and dogs after a single oral administration of (14)C-GDC-0449. ... GDC-0449 underwent extensive metabolism in rats and dogs with the major metabolic pathways being oxidation of the 4-chloro-3-(pyridin-2-yl)-phenyl moiety followed by phase II glucuronidation or sulfation. Three other metabolites resulting from an uncommon pyridine ring opening were found, mainly in feces, representing 1.7 to 17.7% of the dose in total in rats and dogs. ...

... Proposed metabolites from exploratory metabolite identification in vitro (rat, dog and human liver microsomes) and in vivo (dog and rat urine) include three primary oxidative metabolites (M1-M3) and three sequential glucuronides (M4-M6). Oxidative metabolites identified in microsomes M1 and M3 were formed primarily by P4503A4/5 (M1) and P4502C9 (M3). GDC-0449 was not a potent inhibitor of P4501A2, P4502B6, P4502D6, and P4503A4/5 with IC50 estimates greater than 20 uM. K(i)'s estimated for P4502C8, P4502C9 and P4502C19 and were 6.0, 5.4 and 24 uM, respectively. An evaluation with Simcyp suggests that GDC-0449 has a low potential of inhibiting P4502C8 and P4502C9. Furthermore, GDC-0449 (15 uM) was not a potent P-glycoprotein/ABCB1 inhibitor in MDR1-MDCK cells.

Recent evidence from in vitro and in vivo studies has demonstrated that aberrant reactivation of the Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) signaling pathway regulates genes that promote cellular proliferation in various human cancer stem cells (CSCs). Therefore, the chemotherapeutic agents that inhibit activation of Gli transcription factors have emerged as promising novel therapeutic drugs for pancreatic cancer. GDC-0449 (Vismodegib), orally administrable molecule belonging to the 2-arylpyridine class, inhibits SHH signaling pathway by blocking the activities of Smoothened. The objectives of this study were to examine the molecular mechanisms by which GDC-0449 regulates human pancreatic CSC characteristics in vitro. GDC-0499 inhibited cell viability and induced apoptosis in three pancreatic cancer cell lines and pancreatic CSCs. This inhibitor also suppressed cell viability, Gli-DNA binding and transcriptional activities, and induced apoptosis through caspase-3 activation and PARP cleavage in pancreatic CSCs. GDC-0449-induced apoptosis in CSCs showed increased Fas expression and decreased expression of PDGFRa. Furthermore, Bcl-2 was down-regulated whereas TRAIL-R1/DR4 and TRAIL-R2/DR5 expression was increased following the treatment of CSCs with GDC-0449. Suppression of both Gli1 plus Gli2 by shRNA mimicked the changes in cell viability, spheroid formation, apoptosis and gene expression observed in GDC-0449-treated pancreatic CSCs. Thus, activated Gli genes repress DRs and Fas expressions, up-regulate the expressions of Bcl-2 and PDGFRa and facilitate cell survival. These data suggest that GDC-0499 can be used for the management of pancreatic cancer by targeting pancreatic CSCs.

PMID:22087285 Full text: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3210776 Singh BN et al; PLoS One. 2011;6(11):e27306. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0027306. Epub 2011


Hedgehog (Hh) signaling is involved in the pathogenesis of liver fibrosis. It has been previously shown that Hh-inhibitor cyclopamine (CYA) can reduce liver fibrosis in rats. However, CYA is not stable in vivo, which limits its clinical application. This study compares the antifibrotic potential of two known Hh antagonists, vismodegib (GDC-0449, abbreviated to GDC) and CYA. GDC is a synthetic molecule presently in clinical cancer trials and has been reported to be safe and efficacious. These drugs attenuated early liver fibrosis in common bile duct ligated rats, improved liver function, and prevented hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation, thereby suppressing epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT). While both CYA and GDC increased the number of proliferating cell nuclear antigen positive liver cells in vivo, only CYA increased Caspase-3 expression in HSCs in rat livers, suggesting that while GDC and CYA effectively attenuate early liver fibrosis, their hepatoprotective effects may be mediated through different modes of action. Thus, GDC has the potential to serve as a new therapeutic agent for treating early liver fibrosis.

About Vismodegib

Vismodegib is an orally bioavailable, small molecule inhibitor of SMO and the Hedgehog (Hh) pathway, with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon oral administration, vismodegib targets, binds to and inhibits the cell membrane-spanning G-protein coupled receptor SMO, which may result in the suppression of Hh pathway signaling and a decrease in tumor cell proliferation and survival. SMO is activated upon binding of Hh ligand to the cell surface receptor Patched (PTCH); inappropriate activation of Hh signaling and uncontrolled cellular proliferation may be associated with SMO mutations.

Vismodegib Manufacturers

A Vismodegib manufacturer is defined as any person or entity involved in the manufacture, preparation, processing, compounding or propagation of Vismodegib, including repackagers and relabelers. The FDA regulates Vismodegib manufacturers to ensure that their products comply with relevant laws and regulations and are safe and effective to use. Vismodegib API Manufacturers are required to adhere to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) to ensure that their products are consistently manufactured to meet established quality criteria.

Vismodegib CoA

A Vismodegib CoA (Certificate of Analysis) is a formal document that attests to Vismodegib's compliance with Vismodegib specifications and serves as a tool for batch-level quality control.

Vismodegib CoA mostly includes findings from lab analyses of a specific batch. For each Vismodegib CoA document that a company creates, the USFDA specifies specific requirements, such as supplier information, material identification, transportation data, evidence of conformity and signature data.

Vismodegib may be tested according to a variety of international standards, such as European Pharmacopoeia (Vismodegib EP), Vismodegib JP (Japanese Pharmacopeia) and the US Pharmacopoeia (Vismodegib USP).

Inform the supplier about your product requirements, specifying if you need a product with particular monograph like EP (Ph. Eur.), USP, JP, BP, or any other quality. In addition, clarify whether you need hydrochloride (HCl), anhydricum, base, micronisatum or a specific level of purity. To find reputable suppliers, utilize the filters and select those certified by GMP, FDA, or any other certification as per your requirement.
For your convenience, we have listed synonyms and CAS numbers to help you find the best supplier. The use of synonyms and CAS numbers can be helpful in identifying potential suppliers, but it is crucial to note that they might not always indicate the exact same product. It is important to confirm the product details with the supplier before making a purchase to ensure that it meets your requirements.
