NHE1 inhibitor | BI-9627
Write a review / see user reviewsChemical structure
Highlights
BI-9627 shows high sodium−hydrogen exchanger isoform 1 (NHE1) potency, low DDI potential as measured by CYP inhibition, CYP 3A4 inactivation, and PXR mediated CYP 3A4 induction, low hERG potency with concomitant absence of effects in lengthening action potential duration, excellent pharmacokinetics in rat and dog, and remarkably potent activity in the isolated heart model of ischemia-reperfusion injury (Compound 60 in reference 1).1 The compound also shows good selectivity against NHE2 and NHE3 and did not show strong hits in a Eurofins-Panlabs® screen.

Target information
Sodium−hydrogen exchanger isoform 1 (NHE1) is a ubiquitously expressed transmembrane ion channel responsible for the regulation of intracellular pH via the electroneutral exchange of sodium ions and protons.2
NHE1 is a member of a family of such proteins which encompasses nine variously expressed isoforms. While NHE1 is ubiquitously expressed,3 it is the predominant NHE present in myocardial tissue where it plays a central role in the regulation of intracellular pH in cardiomyocytes.4

In vitro Activity
BI-9627 shows an IC50 of 6 nM in the pHi change assay and an IC50 of 31 nM in the human platelet swelling inhibition (hPSA) assay.1

Negative control
BI-0054 is a close analog of BI-9627 but is inactive against NHE1, NHE2 and NHE3 in the pHi change assay (all >10,000 nM). BI-0054 can be ordered as negative control compound.
