AMG 517 is shown to be effective in a rodent “on-target” biochemical challenge model (capsaicin-induced flinch, ED50=0.33 mg/kg p.o.) and is antihyperalgesic in a model of inflammatory pain (CFA-induced thermal hyperalgesia, MED=0.83 mg/kg, p.o.).The minimally effective dose is 0.3 mg/kg for AMG 517 and the corresponding plasma concentration is 90 ng/mL. Oral administration of AMG 517 reverses established thermal hyperalgesia in a dose-dependent manner at 21 h after CFA injection. AMG 517 causes transient hyperthermia in rodents, dogs, and monkeys. AMG 517 induces hyperthermia in a steep dose-dependent manner, with 0.3, 1, and 3 mg/kg associated with 0.5, 0.6, and 1.6°C increases in body temperature, respectively. Body temperatures of rats treated with all doses of AMG 517 return to baseline within 10 to 20 h.
