WAY 316606 hydrochloride

WAY-316606 increases bone formation when tested in a neonatal murine calvarial assay. WAY-316606 increases total bone area up to 60% in a dose-dependent manner with an EC₅₀ of about 1 nM. WAY-316606 has good aqueous solubility, moderate to low inhibition of cytochrome p450 isozymes (3A4, 2D6, 2C9) and good stability in rat and human liver microsomes (t_1/2>60 min in each species)^[1].
In female Sprague-Dawley rats, WAY-316606 exhibits high plasma clearance (77 mL/min/kg, greater than hepatic blood flow) following a single intravenous bolus dose (2 mg/kg), which results in a rapid decline of drug exposure in the plasma despite the route of administration^[2].
