ISIS 113715
ISIS 113715 Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.
ISIS 113715 is our second-generation antisense inhibitor of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1b, or PTP‑1b, for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. In early trials, ISIS 113715 induced statistically significant improvements in multiple measures of glucose control along with statistically significantreductions in LDL-cholesterol.
Because ISIS 113715 is an insulin sensitizer that acts by increasing the activity of the insulin receptor in response to insulin, the most logical place for this drug in the diabetes treatment regimen is as an adjunct to insulin therapy. ISIS 113715 has a novel mechanism of PTP-1b inhibiting action, and acts as an insulin signal enhancer with anti-obesity and lipid lowering potential. PTP‑1b has long been recognized as an attractive target for treatment of diabetes, but due to structural similarities among closely related proteins, it has been difficult to identify small molecule drugs with sufficient specificity to besafe. Antisense technology allowed for the design of very specific drugs that inhibit PTP‑1b and that do not inhibit other family members, making it possible to reduce PTP‑1b activity without having other effects on closely related proteins that would likely lead to unwanted side effects.

How ISIS 113715 works
ISIS 113715 is our second-generation antisense inhibitor of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1b, or PTP‑1b, for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. PTP‑1b is responsible for turning off the activated insulin receptor, so by reducing levels of PTP‑1b, ISIS 113715 enhances the activity of insulin. Antisense technology allows us to design very specific drugs that inhibit PTP‑1b and that do not inhibit other family members, making it possible to reduce PTP‑1b activity without having other effects on closely related proteins that would likely lead to unwanted side effects.
