Avatrombopag (AKR-501) is an orally active, nonpeptide thrombopoietin (TPO) receptor agonist (EC50=3.3 nM). Avatrombopag mimics the biological activities of TPO. Avatrombopag increases platelet production by activating the intracellular signaling system, and promotes production of platelets and megakaryocytes from hemopoietic precursor cells. Avatrombopag is a substrate of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C9 and CYP3A.
体外研究
Avatrombopag (E5501; AKR-501) specifically targets the TPO receptor and stimulated megakaryocytopoiesis throughout the development and maturation of megakaryocytes just as recombinant human TPO (rhTPO) did.
Avatrombopag (0-100 nM) supports the proliferation of TPO receptor expressing Ba/F3 cell in a concentration-dependent fashion. Avatrombopag (0-3 μM) induces tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT3 and STAT5, and threonine phosphorylation of ERK in the cells, as did rhTPO.
Avatrombopag promotes megakaryocyte colony formation from human CB CD34 cells in a concentration-dependent fashion. The EC50 is 25 nM for Avatrombopag and the maximum activity of Avatrombopag is similar to that of rhTPO.

体内研究
Avatrombopag (0.3-3 mg/kg; p.o.; daily for 14 days) increases the number of human platelets in NOD/SCID mice transplanted with human FL CD34 cells.
Animal Model:
NOD/SCID mice (transplanted with human FL CD34+cells)
Dosage:
0.3, 1, and 3 mg/kg
Administration:
P.o.; daily for 14 days
Result:
Dose-dependently increased the number of human platelets, resulting in approximately a 2.7‐fold increase at 1 mg/kg/d and a 3.0-fold increase at 3 mg/kg/d on day 14 after the start of administration.
