Summary

Neladenoson bialanate (BAY 1067197) is an oral prodrug of neladenoson, a selective adenosine A1 receptor partial agonist developed by Bayer AG. It was investigated primarily for the treatment of chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Phase II clinical trials (PANTHEON and PANACHE) showed it was well tolerated but did not demonstrate significant improvement in primary endpoints, limiting further development.

Mechanism of Action

Neladenoson bialanate is an oral prodrug that is converted to neladenoson, a selective partial agonist of the adenosine A1 receptor (A1AR). Activation of A1AR mediates cardioprotective effects including reduction of heart rate, modulation of cardiac energy metabolism, and attenuation of maladaptive remodeling in heart failure.
