Description

ABT-639 is a T-type calcium (Cav3.2) channel antagonist that was in development with AbbVie for the treatment for pain. ABT-639 is a potent and selective T-type calcium channel blocker. ABT-639 effectively reduces nociceptive and neuropathic pain in rats. ABT-639 produces robust antinociceptive activity in experimental pain models at doses that do not significantly alter psychomotor or hemodynamic function in the rat. ABT-639 blocks recombinant human T-type (Cav3.2) Ca2+ channels in a voltage-dependent fashion (IC50=2 uM) and attenuates low voltage-activated (LVA) currents in rat DRG neurons (IC50=8 uM). ABT-639 was significantly less active at other Ca²⁺ channels (e.g. Ca(v)1.2 and Ca(v)2.2) (IC₅₀ > 30 uM). ABT-639 has high oral bioavailability (%F = 73), low protein binding (88.9%) and a low brain:plasma ratio (0.05:1) in rodents.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
Healthy adult males (aged 21 to 55 years) were randomly assigned to receive single oral doses of ABT-639, pregabalin, and placebo. A single 100-mg dose of ABT-639 had no effect on experimental pain induced by intradermal capsaicin injection.
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
ABT-639 blocks recombinant human T-type (Cav3.2) Ca2+ channels in a voltage-dependent fashion (IC50=2 uM) and attenuates low voltage-activated (LVA) currents in rat DRG neurons (IC50=8 uM). ABT-639 is significantly less active at other Ca2+ channels (e.g. Cav1.2 and Cav2.2) (IC50>30 uM).
