Mirabegron

Mirabegron and vibegron, both newly identified beta-3 adrenergic agonists, have significantly improved the quality of life for patients suffering from overactive bladder. In order to comprehensively assess the plasma exposure levels of these agents, the development of a rapid and highly sensitive bioanalytical method becomes imperative. The primary objective of this study was to establish a robust high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) method for the concurrent quantification of mirabegron and vibegron in human plasma...

CONTEXT: Activation of brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis improves insulin sensitivity and is beneficial in obesity. Emerging evidence indicates that BAT activation increases lipid mediators that play autocrine and endocrine roles to regulate metabolism and inflammation. OBJECTIVE: The goal of the study was to determine the relationship between two distinct approaches of BAT activation (cold exposure and mirabegron treatment) with lipid mediators in humans...

INTRODUCTION: Overactive bladder symptoms (OABS) affect patients' quality of life (QOL) worldwide. This pooled analysis compared the efficacy and safety of mirabegron add-on tamsulosin with those of tamsulosin add-on placebo in OABS treatment. METHODS: PubMed, Embase, MEDLINE, and the Cochrane Controlled Trial Register databases were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) examining the efficacy of mirabegron add-on therapy to tamsulosin in the treatment of OABS...

BACKGROUND: Untreated, urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) and overactive bladder (OAB) can precipitate a vicious cycle of decreasing physical activity, social isolation, fear of falling, and falls. Structured behavioral interventions and medications are common initial treatment options, but they elicit their effects through very different mechanisms of action that may influence fall-related outcomes differently. This study will determine the feasibility of conducting a comparative effectiveness, three-arm, mixed methods, randomized clinical trial of a behaviorally based pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) intervention versus two recent drug options in older women with UUI or OAB who are also at increased risk of falling...

The study focuses to validate and develop a precise, simple and accurate stability indicating RP-HPLC method for estimation simultaneously of and Silodosin and Mirabegron in synthetic mixture. The chromatographic separation was achieved by using Shimpack solar C18 column (250mm × 4.5mm, 5 µm) with acetonitrile: 5mM ammonium acetate in ratio of 90:10% v/v as a mobile phase at a constant flow rate of about 1.2ml/min. The development and validation were carried out at detection wavelength of 229 nm. We developed a robust RP-HPLC method, validated for linearity, precision, accuracy, specificity, and system suitability...

BACKGROUND: Brown adipose tissue (BAT) has emerged as a potential therapeutic target for metabolic disorders due to its thermogenic and anti-obesity properties. β3-adrenergic receptor (β3-AR) agonists have also gained attention as potential agents for BAT activation and metabolic regulation. Mirabegron, a selective β3-AR-agonist used clinically for overactive bladder syndrome, has been explored for its utility in metabolic disorders. However, the controversy surrounding the ability of mirabegron to activate BAT to accelerate metabolism requires further investigation...

Annually, peripheral arterial disease is estimated to cost over USD 21 billion and diabetic foot disease an estimated at USD 9-13 billion. Mirabegron is a TGA-approved beta-3 adrenoreceptor agonist, shown to be safe and effective in the treatment of overactive bladder syndrome by stimulating bladder smooth muscle relaxation. In this review, we discuss the potential use of beta-3 adrenoreceptor agonists as therapeutic agents repurposed for peripheral arterial disease and diabetic foot ulcers. The development of both conditions is underpinned by the upregulation of oxidative stress pathways and consequential inflammation and hypoxia...

OBJECTIVES: Overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms are often encountered in patients after transurethral resection of the prostate (TUR-P) or transurethral incision of the prostate (TUI-P) for benign prostatic obstruction (BPO). Either antimuscarinics or β-3 agonist has been found effective in relieving OAB symptoms. However, urologists usually do not prescribe such medication immediately after TUR-P or TUI-P to avoid an increase in postvoid residual and risk of urinary tract infection...

The β3-adrenergic receptor (β3-AR) agonism mirabegron is used to treat overactive urinary bladder syndrome; however, its role against acute kidney injury (AKI) is not unveiled, hence, we aim to repurpose mirabegron in the treatment of mercuric chloride (HgCl2 )-induced AKI. Rats were allocated into normal, normal + mirabegron, HgCl2 untreated, HgCl2  + mirabegron, and HgCl2  + the β3-AR blocker SR59230A + mirabegron. The latter increased the mRNA of β3-AR and miR-127 besides downregulating NF-κB p65 protein expression and the contents of its downstream targets iNOS, IL-4, -13, and -17 but increased that of IL-10 to attest its anti-inflammatory capacity...

Metabolic reprogramming in malignant cells is a hallmark of cancer that relies on augmented glycolytic metabolism to support their growth, invasion, and metastasis. However, the impact of global adipose metabolism on tumor growth and the drug development by targeting adipose metabolism remain largely unexplored. Here we show that a therapeutic paradigm of drugs is effective for treating various cancer types by browning adipose tissues. Mirabegron, a clinically available drug for overactive bladders, displays potent anticancer effects in various animal cancer models, including untreatable cancers such as pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and hepatocellular carcinoma, via the browning of adipose tissues...

BACKGROUND: The voiding chart is part of the initial evaluation of enuresis, since the data gathered this way are assumed to carry predictive information. However, there is little evidence that the voiding chart actually does predict therapy response. Lundmark & Nevéus performed a pilot investigation in 2020 and found that anamnestic and voiding chart data did not predict response to second-line therapies. This study aims at evaluating whether these findings could be replicated...

For the first time, two spectrofluorimetric techniques were created for the concurrent determination of mirabegron (MBN) and solifenacin (SOL) in different matrices. This novel combination recently received FDA approval to treat overactive bladder syndrome and was marketed under the brand name MiragoTM S25 . SOL has a native fluorescence and can be estimated directly in the presence of MBN without any interference at 290 nm after excitation at 230 nm. In contrast to SOL, MBN is a weak fluorescent substance that requires the use of a fluorogenic reagent (like NBD-Cl) to be measured simultaneously with SOL in their mixtures...

Obesity is becoming a global health epidemic. Brown and "beige" adipose tissue may produce heat, leading to energy expenditure enhancement and weight loss. Mirabegron, a selective β3-adrenergic receptor agonist, has been found to be effective as a brown adipose tissue activator, a "beige" cells stimulator and a metabolic homeostasis controller in animal and human studies. Although in animal studies, administration of mirabegron led to obesity improvement, significant weight loss in obese patients after mirabegron treatment has not been demonstrated so far, which may be associated with the too-short duration of the trials and the small number of participants in the studies...

This study was to investigate urinary beta 3-adrenoceptor concentration as a biomarker for overactive bladder (OAB) and predictor of treatment outcomes in women receiving the beta 3-adrenoceptor agonist mirabegron. The study comprised 50 women identified with OAB and 35 women considered as healthy controls. All women with OAB received daily dosage of 50 mg of mirabegron for 12 weeks. Bladder diaries, OAB-related questionnaires, and global response assessment scale (GRAS) data were collected. Urinary beta 3-adrenoceptor concentration was measured through enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay...

Objective: We conducted a meta-analysis to assess the efficacy and safety of mirabegron (50 mg/day) and antimuscarinics in treating ureteral stent-related symptoms (SRSs). Methods: All randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were identified by searching PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library. The RevMan version 5.3.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Results: This meta-analysis included five RCTs involving 317 patients. A fixed effects model revealed that mirabegron was superior to antimuscarinics in treating urinary symptoms (MD -1...

Overactive bladder (OAB) is characterized by urinary urgency and increased urinary frequency, substantially affecting quality of life. Tamsulosin and mirabegron combination therapy has been studied as a safe and effective treatment option for patients with OAB. This study evaluated the effects of combining these two drugs on their pharmacokinetics and safety profiles in healthy Korean males. In this open-label, fixed-sequence, three-period, drug-drug interaction phase 1 study, a total of 36 male participants were administered multiple doses of tamsulosin alone (0...

Introduction  Overactive bladder (OAB) is a medical state that presents as the urgency of urine and increased frequency of micturition and is diagnosed on the basis of the presence of these symptoms in the absence of other explainable diagnoses. The management of this condition includes conservative management, medical management/pharmacotherapy, and surgical management. The overactive bladder has been treated with smooth muscle relaxants, but there are conflicting results. Hence, this study aimed to assess the result of the two smooth muscle relaxants, mirabegron and solifenacin, and their combination to manage an overactive bladder...
