As a biological variable, sex influences the metabolism of and/or response to certain drugs. Vicagrel is being developed as an investigational new drug in China; however, it is unknown whether sex could affect its metabolic activation and platelet responsiveness. This study aimed to determine whether such differences could exist, and to elucidate the mechanisms involved. Orchiectomized (ORX) or ovariectomized (OVX) mouse models were used to investigate the effects of androgens or estrogens on the metabolic activation of and platelet response to vicagrel. Plasma vicagrel active metabolite H4 concentrations, platelet inhibition of vicagrel, and protein levels of intestinal hydrolases Aadac and Ces2 were measured, respectively. Further, p38-MAPK signaling pathway was enriched, whose role was determined using SB202190. Results showed that female mice exhibited significantly elevated systemic exposure of H4 and enhanced platelet responses to vicagrel than males, and that protein expression levels of Aadac and Ces2 differed by sex. OVX mice exhibited less changes than sham mice. ORX mice exhibited increases in protein levels of intestinal hydrolases, systemic exposure of H4, and platelet inhibition of vicagrel, but dihydrotestosterone (DHT) reversed these changes in ORX mice and suppressed these changes in OVX mice. Phosphorylated p38 levels were reduced in female or ORX mice but increased in ORX mice by DHT. SB202190 reversed DHT-induced changes observed in ORX mice. We concluded that sex differences exist in metabolic activation of and platelet response to vicagrel in mice through elevation of p38 phosphorylation by androgens, suggesting sex-based vicagrel dosage adjustments for patient care.

The metabolic activation of and platelet response to vicagrel vary with P-glycoprotein deficiency, rather than P-glycoprotein inhibition, in mice

Article

This study aimed to determine changes in the hydrolysis of vicagrel, a substrate drug of arylacetamide deacetylase (Aadac) and carboxylesterase 2 (Ces2), in P-glycoprotein (P-gp)-deficient or P-gp-inhibited mice and to elucidate the mechanisms involved.Male wild-type (WT) and P-gp knock-out (KO) mice were used to investigate the systemic exposure of vicagrel thiol active metabolite H4 and platelet response to vicagrel, and the mRNA and protein expression levels of intestinal Aadac and Ces2. Moreover, WT mice were administered vicagrel alone or in combination with elacridar (a potent P-gp inhibitor) to determine drug-drug interactions.Compared with WT mice, P-gp KO mice exhibited significant increases in the systemic exposure of H4, the protein expression levels of intestinal Aadac and Ces2, and inhibition of ADP-induced platelet aggregation by vicagrel. Further, the H4 exposure was positively correlated with intestinal Aadac protein expression levels but did not vary with short-term inhibition of P-gp efflux activity by elacridar.P-gp-deficient mice, rather than elacridar-treated mice, exhibited significant upregulation of intestinal Aadac and Ces2 and thus, enhanced metabolic activation of and platelet response to vicagrel, suggesting that the metabolic activation of vicagrel may vary with P-gp deficiency, not P-gp inhibition, in mice.

Effects of the Thiol Methyltransferase Inhibitor (±)-2,3-Dichloro-α-Methylbenzylamine (DCMB) on the Pharmacokinetics and Metabolism of Vicagrel in Rats

Article

P2Y₁₂ receptor inhibitors are commonly used in clinical antiplatelet therapy, typically alongside other medications. Vicagrel, a promising P2Y₁₂ receptor inhibitor, has submitted a new drug marketing application to the United States Food and Drug Administration. Its primary metabolites and some metabolic pathways are identical to those of clopidogrel. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the thiol methyltransferase inhibitor (±)-2,3-dichloro-α-methylbenzylamine (DCMB) on the metabolism and pharmacokinetics of vicagrel. In vitro incubation with human and rat liver microsomes revealed that DCMB significantly inhibited the methylation of vicagrel's thiol metabolite M15-1. Rats were orally administered 6 mg/kg [¹⁴C]vicagrel (100 μCi/kg) 1 hour after peritoneal injection with or without DCMB (80 mg/kg). Compared with the control group, the plasma of DCMB-pretreated rats exhibited maximum plasma concentration (C _max) decrease and time to reach C _max (T _max) delay for all vicagrel-related substances, the methylation product of the thiol metabolite (M9-2), and the derivatization product of the active thiol metabolite (MP-M15-2). However, no significant changes in area under the curve (AUC) or half-life (t _1/2) were observed. DCMB had negligible effect on the total radiological recovery of vicagrel within 72 hours, although the rate of vicagrel excretion slowed down within 48 hours. DCMB had a negligible impact on the metabolic pathway of vicagrel. Overall, the present study found that DCMB did not significantly affect the total exposure, metabolic pathways, metabolite profiles, or total excretion rates of vicagrel-related metabolites in rats, but led to C _max decrease, T _max delay, and slower excretion rate within 48 hours. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: This study used liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry combined with radiolabeling technology to investigate the effects of the thiol methyltransferase inhibitor (±)-2,3-dichloro-α-methylbenzylamine on the absorption, metabolism, and excretion of vicagrel in rats. This work helps to better understand the in vivo metabolism of active thiol metabolites of P2Y₁₂ inhibitors such as clopidogrel, vicagrel, etc.

Jiangsu Vcare Files NDA for Vicagrel Capsules with US FDA

NANJING, China, Jan. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- On December 28, 2023, Jiangsu Vcare PharmaTech Co., Ltd. (Jiangsu Vcare) successfully submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Vicagrel capsule, which is indicated to treat a range of thrombotic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, including acute coronary syndrome, ischaemic stroke, and peripheral arterial disease. This filing marks a significant milestone as Jiangsu Vcare's first NDA submission from its innovative drug pipeline. This NDA filing builds on continuous dialogues with the FDA and is supported by robust nonclinical data and clinical studies conducted in both China and US. Vicagrel, a novel oral P2Y12 receptor antagonist, represents Jiangsu Vcare's commitment to addressing unmet clinical needs with innovative approaches. Its mechanism of action involves the same active metabolite as clopidogrel that effectively inhibits platelet activation and aggregation, while addressing the issue of "clopidogrel resistance". This NDA filing reflects more than ten years of persistent innovation and dedication by Jiangsu Vcare. Once approved, Vicagrel promises to offer a new treatment option for the estimated 27.6 million US patients with coronary heart disease and stroke. About Vicagrel Vicagrel, a product of the collaboration between Jiangsu Vcare and China Pharmaceutical University, is under the exclusive ownership of Jiangsu Vcare. The early R&D breakthroughs were published in prestigious journals including the American Chemical Society's Journal of Medicinal Chemistry (2012) and Nature-affiliated SciBX (2012). Vicagrel stands out among antithrombotic treatments, offering key advantages in both pharmacogenomics and pharmacokinetics over clopidogrel due to its unique structural design. Recent Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics data positions vicagrel as a superior version of clopidogrel, eliminating the Black Box Warning associated with clopidogrel use and reducing drug interaction concerns, all achievable at a much lower daily dose. About Jiangsu Vcare Founded in 2010, Jiangsu Vcare PharmaTech Co., Ltd. is a high-tech enterprise specializing in innovative drug development, with over 700 employees, mostly technical staff, and operates a major R&D center in Nanjing Biomedical Valley. The company's research portfolio encompasses a range of clinical assets and preclinical projects, targeting key areas such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, oncology, and autoimmune disorders. The company features a start-of-art drug discovery platform and partners with China Pharmaceutical University for postdoctoral and graduate research in Nanjing. Having raised nearly 1 billion yuan through three financing rounds between 2021 and 2023, the company aims to leverage its decade-long experience to develop innovative drugs addressing unmet medical needs.
