Description
Linaclotide, a synthetic peptide structure containing 14 amino acids, is related to the endogenous guanosine peptide family and is the only FDA-approved GC-C (guanylate) Cyclase-C) agonist drugs for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) and chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC) in adults.
Chemical Properties
Linaclotide is a white to off-white amorphous powder; slightly soluble in water and aqueous sodium chloride solution (0.9%).
How it works
Linaclotide is a guanylate cyclase-C receptor agonist (GCCA) with both visceral analgesic and endocrine activity. Both linaclotide and its active metabolite can bind to the guanylate cyclase-C (GC-C) receptor on the luminal surface of the small intestinal epithelium. In animal models, linaclotide reduces visceral pain and increases gastrointestinal transit through activation of GC-C, and in humans, the drug also increases colonic transit. The result of GC-C activation is increased intracellular and extracellular cGMP (cyclic guanosine monophosphate) concentrations. Extracellular cGMP can reduce the activity of pain nerve fibers and reduce visceral pain in model animals. Intracellular cGMP can increase the secretion of chloride and bicarbonate in the small intestine by activating CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator), which eventually leads to the increase of small intestinal fluid secretion and the speed of small intestinal transit.
FAQ
Do you guarantee safe and secure delivery of products?
Yes, we always use high quality export packaging. We also use specialized hazard packing for dangerous goods and validated cold storage shippers for temperature sensitive items. Specialist packaging and non-standard packing requirements may incur an additional charge.
How about the shipping fees?
The shipping cost depends on the way you choose to get the goods. Express is normally the quickest but also most expensive way. By sea freight is the best solution for big amounts. Exactly freight rates we can only give you if we know the details of amount, weight and way. Please contact us for further information.
