Elagolix Sodium CAS NO.832720-36-2

Elagolix sodium (ABT-620) is a small molecule, orally active gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptor antagonist. It has the ability to suppress estradiol (E2) concentrations in a dose-dependent manner.
It was originally developed by Neurocrine Biosciences, then licensed to Abbott (now Abbvie) for worldwide co-development of this indication in 2010. AbbVie is applying to use elagolix for the treatment of endometriosis with associated pain. Elagolix is the first orally available GnRH antagonist, and as such may provide patients with relief from the painful symptoms of endometriosis while offering advantages over currently available injectable peptide-based treatments. The estimated patient population is over 170 million women worldwide.

Chemical Properties    Elagolix sodium is a small synthetic molecule chemically known as Sodium 4-({(1R)-2- [5-(2-fluoro-3-methoxyphenyl)-3-{[2-fluoro-6-(trifluoromethyl) phenyl]methyl}-4- methyl -2,6-dioxo-3,6-dihydropyrimidin-1(2H)-yl]-1-phenylethyl} amino)butanoate. The structure was confirmed by mass spectrometry, infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance.
Elagolix sodium is isolated as a hygroscopic, amorphous white to off-white to light yellow powder.
Uses    Elagolix Sodium is a gonadotropin releasing hormone antagonist (GnRH antagonist) used in the treatment of pain associated with endometriosis in women. It is also in phase III clinical trials for the treatment of uterine fibroids in women. Endometriosis is a frequent cause of infertility, connected with a chronic pelvic and pre-menstrual pain.
