N-Gene Research Laboratories is developing BGP-15 (NP-51), a small molecule, orally available, indirect Jun kinase (JNK) inhibitor and insulin sensitiser, for glycaemic control in patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus, and as an adjunct treatment for insulin resistance due to antipsychotics or obesity. In March 2002, N-Gene Research Laboratories granted Allos Therapeutics an exclusive license to its intellectual property surrounding BGP 15 in the US. BGP-15 has previously been used in clinical trials for the treatment of skeletal muscle pathology associated with Type 2 Diabetes (through insulin sensitization), Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) and heart failure (through anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic mechanisms). Via its action as a modulator of the cytoprotective response to cellularstress, and specifically as a poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor, heat shock protein-inducer, membrane lipid therapeutic and an antioxidant inducer, BGP-15 has previously been shown to protect against skeletal muscle dysfunction, damage and wasting.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

The efficacy and safety of BGP-15 were compared with placebo in insulin-resistant patients in a 28-day dose-ranging study. Forty-seven nondiabetic patients with impaired glucose tolerance were randomly assigned to 4 weeks of treatment with 200 or 400 mg of BGP-15 or placebo. BGP-15 at 200 or 400 mg significantly improved insulin sensitivity in insulin-resistant, nondiabetic patients during treatment compared to placebo and was safe and well-tolerated.

Route of Administration: Oral

In Vitro Use Guide

Kinetic analysis showed a mixed-type (noncompetitive) inhibition by BGP-15 of nuclear poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) with a K(i) = 57 +/- 6 uM.
