MedChemExpress - Model Lifitegrast - 1025967-78-5

Lifitegrast (SAR 1118) is a potent integrin antagonist. Lifitegrast blocks the binding of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) to lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1 (LFA-1), interrupting the T cell-mediated inflammatory cycle. Lifitegrast inhibits Jurkat T cell attachment to ICAM-1 with an IC50 of 2.98 nM. Lifitegrast can be used for researching dry eye disease[1].

Description：Lifitegrast (SAR 1118) is a potent integrin antagonist. Lifitegrast blocks the binding of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) to lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1 (LFA-1), interrupting the T cell-mediated inflammatory cycle. Lifitegrast inhibits Jurkat T cell attachment to ICAM-1 with an IC50 of 2.98 nM. Lifitegrast can be used for researching dry eye disease.

In Vitro：Lifitegrast (SAR 1118) inhibits T cell-mediated inflammation by blocking the binding of two important cell surface proteins (lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1 and intercellular adhesion molecule 1), thus lessening overall inflammatory responses[1]. Lifitegrast strongly inhibits Jurkat T cell attachment to ICAM-1 with an IC50 of 2.98 nM[1].

In Vivo：Lifitegrast (SAR 1118), has potent anti-inflammatory activity on corneal inflammation induced by antibiotic-killed P. aeruginosa and S. aureus in the presence of a silicone hydrogel lens with the optimal application being a 1% solution applied either 2 or 3 times prior[2]. Lifitegrast (SAR 1118) ophthalmic drops administered thrice daily deliver therapeutic levels of Lifitegrast (SAR 1118) in the retina and can alleviate the retinal complications associated with diabetes[3].

Animal Administration：Rats: The ocular pharmacokinetics of Lifitegrast (SAR 1118) are studied in rats after a single topical dose of 14C-SAR 1118 (1 mg/eye; 40 μCi; 15.5 μL). Lifitegrast (SAR 1118) concentration time profiles in plasma and ocular tissues are quantified by liquid scintillation counting (LSC). The pharmacologic activity of SAR 1118 eye drops administered thrice daily for 2 months at 1% (0.3 mg/eye/d) and 5% (1.5 mg/eye/d) is assessed in an STZ-induced diabetic rat model by determining retinal leukostasis and blood–retinal barrier breakdown[3]. Mice: The role of LFA-1 (CD11a/CD18) is examined either in CD18-/- mice, by intraperitoneal injection of anti-CD11a, or by topical application of lifitegrast. Corneal inflammation is induced by epithelial abrasion and exposure to either tobramycin-killed Pseudomonas aeruginosa or Staphylococcus aureus in the presence of a 2-mm-diameter punch from a silicone hydrogel contact lens. After 24 h, corneal thickness and haze are examined by confocal microscopy, and neutrophil recruitment to the corneal stroma is detected by immunohistochemistry[2].
