Description
Darapladib (SB-480848) is a reversible inhibitor of lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2)with IC50 of 0.25 nM.
Product Overview
Plaque rupture is responsible for the clinical events of ischemic death, myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndromes and ischemic strokes. Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) seems to play a major role in the development of such high-risk lesions, in both the coronary and carotid arteries. Darapladib is a selective inhibitor of Lp-PLA2. Clinical trial: Darapladib produced sustained inhibition of plasma Lp-PLA2 activity in patients receiving intensive atorvastatin therapy. IL-6 and hs-CRP changes after 12 weeks of darapladib 160 mg suggested a possible reduction in inflammatory burden.

In vitro
Darapladib potently inhibited Lp-PLA2 with an IC50 of 270 pM. A lack of selectivity against other secretory PLA2s postulated to play a role in atherogenesis had been demonstrated. The percentage inhibition achieved when 1 μM darapladib was evaluated against human secretory PLA2s IIA, V and X, was 0, 0 and 8.7%, respectively.
In vivo
Inhibition of lp-PLA2 by darapladib led to attenuation of inflammation in vivo and decreased plaque formation in ApoE-deficient mice, suggesting an anti-atherogenic role during the progression of atherosclerosis.
