Product Data
Biological target:
Danicopan (ACH-4471), a small-molecule factor D inhibitor, shows high binding affinity to human Factor D (Kd value of 0.54 nM), inhibits alternative pathway of complement (APC) activity, and has potential to block the alternative pathway of complement in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) as well as atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS).
In vitro activity:
ACH-3856 and ACH-4471 were evaluated in the modified Ham test by incubating PIGA-null cells with aHUS patient sera containing the Factor D inhibitors (Figure 4). PIGA-null cell killing activity in aHUS patient sera was heat-sensitive and therefore complement dependent. ACH-3856 (Figure 4A) and ACH-4471 (Figure 4B) both blocked the APC-mediated killing by aHUS patient sera at submicromolar concentrations. These results suggest that small-molecule Factor D inhibitors have the potential to mitigate complementmediated damage in aHUS patients, and support the utility of the modified Ham assay for preclinical aHUS drug assessment.

In vivo activity:
To profile the effects of continuous Factor D inhibition over a period of at least 24 hours in vivo, ACH-4471 was administered orally to 3 monkeys in two serial 200 mg/kg doses separated by 12 hours. The monkeys tolerated the compound well and showed no clinical abnormalities. Figure 5A shows ACH-4471 concentrations in plasma at time points from 0 hours (pre-dosing) to 30 hours (18 hours after the second dose). In parallel, serum was collected for determination of APC activity by Wieslab assay and of Factor D concentrations. APC activity was suppressed continuously by more than 95% continuously through the 30-hour time period (Figure 5B) with no significant increase in Factor D concentrations (Figure 5C). The observed stability of serum Factor D concentrations was expected because, as a small molecule, ACH-4471 should not interfere with renal Factor D clearance, in marked contrast to the effect of systemic delivery of the humanized monoclonal anti-Factor D antibody lampalizumab. These results demonstrate the potential utility of oral delivery of ACH-4471 for therapeutic inhibition of APC activation.
