Description

(3,5-DIBROMO-4-HYDROXYPHENYL)(2,3-DIHYDRO-4H-PYRIDO[4,3-B][1,4]OXAZIN-4-YL)METHANONE (UR-1102/URC-1022) is currently under development for the management of hyperuricaemia in gout. It is a selective URAT1 inhibitor with Ki of 57 nM showing higher uricosuric effects than benzbromarone in monkeys with potentially lower mitochondrial toxicity which is supposed to be related to hepatotoxicity. There is also a probable inhibition of OAT1 and OAT3. UR-1102, which is derived from the chemical structure of benzbromarone, was designed to not only improve URAT1 selectivity and solubility but also to avoid the hepatic toxicity concern of benzbromarone, which is known to be associated with hepatic injury and to have the potential to cause fulminant hepatitis in humans. The results of two phase II trials presented at the 2017 ACR meeting suggested a high potency for reducing SU levels with a good safety profile on a short follow-up. No phase III trial has been registered so far.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
UR-1102 at 3-30 mg/kg or benzbromarone at 3-100 mg/kg was administered orally once a day for 3 consecutive days to tufted capuchin monkeys
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
Although the Ki value for UR-1102 against URAT1 was comparable to that of benzbromarone (0.057 umol/l versus 0.052 umol/l), the Ki values for UR-1102 against OAT1 and OAT3 just exceeded 10 times the Ki values of benzbromarone (OAT1: 7.2 umol/l versus 0.22 umol/l; OAT3: 2.4 umol/l versus 0.11 umol/l)
