Aclidinium bromide (INN) is a novel, long-acting, inhaled muscarinic antagonist currently being developed as a maintenance treatment for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).[1] Preclinically, aclidinium showed potent antagonism of human muscarinic receptors, with a long residence time at M3 receptors and a shorter residence time at M2 receptors, indicating the potential to provide sustained bronchodilation.[2] Aclidinium is rapidly hydrolysed in human plasma, unlike other currently available antimuscarinics including tiotropium.[2][3] This results in very low and transient systemic exposure, suggesting a reduced potential for class-related systemic side effects in the clinical setting.[2][3]
Early clinical studies in healthy subjects have confirmed the low systemic bioavailability and favourable safety profile of single and multiple doses of aclidinium.[4][5] In a subsequent Phase IIb study, which included 464 patients with moderate to severe COPD, aclidinium displayed long-lasting bronchodilatory activity and was well tolerated.[6]
Aclidinium is delivered via a novel, multidose dry powder inhaler, the Genuair inhaler.
