Upamostat (WX-671) is a serine protease inhibitor. Upamostat is the orally available prodrug of the WX-UK1, which is a urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) inhibitor.
体外研究
Upamostat is the urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) inhibitor. Upamostat is the oral pro-drug of the active metabolite WX-UK1, a novel uPA inhibitor. Upamostat inhibits the urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) system, which plays a major role in tumor invasion and metastasis. Upamostat is the orally available amidoxime- (i.e. hydroxyamidine-) prodrug of the pharmacologically active form, WX-UK1.
体内研究
The validated method is used to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of Upamostat (Mesupron) in rats. The mean plasma concentrations of Upamostat after a single intravenous injection of 2 mg/kg in five rats are measured. The substance decays in a mono-phasic pattern with a terminal half-life of 0.5 h; its volume of distribution is 2.0 L/kg, and clearance is about 2.7 L/h/kg.
