This study characterized the pharmacokinetics of FC-12738, a novel retro-inverso pentapeptide for neuroinflammation, in rats and dogs, finding favorable properties but noting potential need for CNS penetrance improvement.

Abstract

FC-12738, a retro-inverso pentapeptide developed by Neurodegenerative Disease Research, Inc., is currently under investigation for treating neuroinflammation associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). This study aimed to evaluate the pharmacokinetic properties of FC-12738, including absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and drug-drug interactions. Pharmacokinetics were assessed in Sprague-Dawley rats and beagle dogs following intravenous and subcutaneous administration. Our findings suggest that FC-12738 demonstrates many favorable pharmacokinetic properties, although further optimization may be required to improve CNS penetrance.
