AZD7687 Inhibitor

AZD7687 is a potent and selective DGAT1 inhibitor with an IC50 value of 80nM (hDGAT1). IC50 value: 80nM [1] Target: DGAT1 in vitro: Plasma AZD7687 exposure was measured repeatedly. AZD7687 markedly reduced postprandial TAG excursion with a steep concentration-effect relationship [2]. Postprandial serum TAG excursion was measured during 8 h after a standardized mixed meal with fat energy content of 60% (SMM 60%; five cohorts, 1-20 mg), before (baseline) and after dosing, to assess effects on gut DGAT1 activity. in vivo: Multiple doses of AZD7687 (1, 2.5, 5, 10 and 20mg/day, n=6 or n=12 for each) or placebo (n=20) were administered for 1 week. With AZD7687 doses >5mg/day, gastrointestinal (GI) side effects increased; 11/18 of these participants discontinued treatment,owing to diarrhoea[3]. Dose-dependent reductions in postprandial serum TAG were demonstrated with AZD7687 doses >=5mg compared with placebo (p<0.01). Significant (p<0.001) increases in plasma GLP-1 and PYY levels were seen at these doses, but no clear effect on gastric emptying was demonstrated at the end of treatment.

Small volumes of AZD7687, inhibitor vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.
