Title:Can MQ232 guide to novel options for treatment of ADPKD?

Abstract:Wang et al. showcase a green mamba-derived compound, MQ232, which interferes with cyst growth in a mouse model of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, similar to the only approved drug for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease treatment, tolvaptan. However, the authors reveal cyclic adenosine monophosphate–dependent and -independent components in MQ232’s mode of action and gender differences in efficacy. Therefore, MQ232 may pave the way to novel treatment options for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.
