Biochem/physiol Actions

Linaclotide is an orally active guanylate cyclase-C (GC-C) agonist that competes against bacterial STa enterotoxin binding to intestinal mucosal membranes from wild-type, but not GC-C null, mice (Ki = 16.4 nM). Linaclotide stimulates fluid secretion, upregulates cGMP accumulation in the intestinal lumen (5 μg/100 μL via injection into surgically ligated intestinal loops), and significantly increases the rate of gastrointestinal transit when administered orally in mice in vivo (100 μg/kg p.o.).

BMC pharmacology, 12, 3-3 (2012-05-05)
Linaclotide has been proposed as a treatment for the same gastrointestinal indications for which lubiprostone has been approved, chronic idiopathic constipation and irritable bowel syndrome with constipation. Stressors damage the epithelial cell barrier and cellular homeostasis leading to loss of

Life sciences, 86(19-20), 760-765 (2010-03-24)
Linaclotide is an orally administered 14-amino acid peptide being developed for the treatment of constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-C) and chronic constipation. We determined the stability of linaclotide in the intestine, measured the oral bioavailability, and investigated whether the pharmacodynamic
