HIDE SMILES / InChI
Ivacaftor (trade names KALYDECO® (ivacaftor) and ORKAMBI® (lumacaftor/ivacaftor)) is a cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator potentiator indicated for the treatment of cystic fibrosis in patients age 6 years and older who have one of the following mutations in the CFTR gene: G551D, G1244E, G1349D, G178R, G551S, S1251N, S1255P, S549N, or S549R. One such defect G551D is characterized by a dysfunctional CFTR protein on the cell surface. Although the defective protein is trafficked to the correct area, the epithelial cell surface, while there it cannot transport chloride through the channel. Ivacaftor, a CFTR potentiator, improves the transport of chloride through the ion channel by binding to the channels directly to induce a non-conventional mode of gating which in turn increases the probability that the channel is open. Ivacaftor regulates fluid flow within cells and affects the components of sweat, digestive fluids, and mucus.

Originator

Curator's Comment: Vertex initiated its CF research program in 1998 as part of a collaboration with CFFT, the nonprofit drug discovery and development affiliate of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. KALYDECO® (ivacaftor) and ORKAMBI® (lumacaftor/ivacaftor) were discovered by Vertex as part of this collaboration.

Sample Use Guides

Adults and pediatric patients age 6 years and older: one 150 mg tablet taken orally every 12 hours with fat-containing food. Reduce dose in patients with moderate and severe hepatic impairment. Reduce dose when co-administered with drugs that are moderate or strong CYP3A inhibitors.
Route of Administration: Oral
10 uM ivacaftor increased the channel open probability of all CFTR gating mutations tested, reaching levels equivalent to 30% to 118% of normal CFTR.
