GNE-7915 is also a moderately potent 5-HT2B antagonist according to in vitro functional assays. GNE-7915 demonstrates excellent in vitro DMPK with minimal turnover in human hepatocytes.
In vivo
In rats, GNE-7915 demonstrates excellent in vivo PK profiles with long half-lives, good oral exposure and high passive permeability. GNE-7915 (50 mg/kg i.p. or p.o.) results in concentration-dependent knockdown of pLRRK2 in the brain of BAC transgenic mice expressing human LRRK2 protein with the G2019S Parkinson’s disease mutation.
