Negative in Ames, in vitro CHO micronucleus and in vivo rat bone marrow micronucleus assays
“Paltusotine was negative in the bacterial mutagenicity assay (Ames test) with Salmonella and Escherichia coli, the in vitro micronucleus test in Chinese hamster ovary cells, and the in vivo micronucleus test in rat bone marrow.”
2-year rat and 26-week Tg.rasH2 mouse: no drug-related tumors
“Paltusotine did not elicit any treatment-related increase in the incidence of tumors in a 2-year study in rats or a 26-week study in Tg.rasH2 transgenic mice.”

Reproductive & developmental
Rat: preimplantation loss and fewer live embryos; rabbit: delayed fetal development and sporadic malformations
“Findings in rats included preimplantation loss and reduced number of live embryos, and findings in rabbits included delayed fetal development and sporadic malformations.”
“Paltusotine was negative in the bacterial mutagenicity assay (Ames test) with Salmonella and Escherichia coli, the in vitro micronucleus test in Chinese hamster ovary cells, and the in vivo micronucleus test in rat bone marrow.”
In vitro micronucleus: equivocal; overall judged non-genotoxic
“In vitro micronucleus test was considered as equivocal. The in vivo micronucleus test was negative. Paltusotine was considered to be a non-genotoxic compound.”
“Paltusotine was negative in the bacterial mutagenicity assay (Ames test) with Salmonella and Escherichia coli, the in vitro micronucleus test in Chinese hamster ovary cells, and the in vivo micronucleus test in rat bone marrow.”
2-year rat; 26-week Tg.rasH2 mouse; no treatment-related tumors
“Paltusotine did not elicit any treatment-related increase in the incidence of tumors in a 2-year study in rats or a 26-week study in Tg.rasH2 transgenic mice.”
2-year rat and 26-week Tg.rasH2 mouse studies completed and reviewed with the NDA
“Paltusotine did not elicit any treatment-related increase in the incidence of tumors in a 2-year study in rats or a 26-week study in Tg.rasH2 transgenic mice.”
“Paltusotine-HCl inhibited hERG channel tail current in a dose-dependent manner with an IC50 value of 4.8µM, which is significantly higher than the IC50 value of 23.18nM for the positive control, terfenadine, in this study.”
Not genotoxic overall: Ames negative; in vitro chromosome aberration positive without (not with) metabolic activation; rat micronucleus and comet negative
