Linaclotide structure. A 2D line-angle schematic of linaclotide (sequence CCEYCCNPACTGCY).[1] The phenolic ring of terminal tyrosine (Y) is in the lower left corner. Exaggerated bond lengths emphasize 3 disulfide (-S—S-) bonds between 6 cysteines (C's).
Linaclotide, (sold under the brand name Linzess in the US and Mexico, and as Constella elsewhere)[6] is a drug used to treat irritable bowel syndrome with constipation and chronic constipation with no known cause.[4][3] It has a black box warning about the risk of serious dehydration in children in the US; the most common adverse effects in others include diarrhea.[4]
It is an oligopeptide agonist of guanylate cyclase 2C and remains in the GI tract after it is taken by mouth. It was approved in the US and the European Union in 2012.[7]
It is marketed by Abbvie (formerly Allergan) in the United states and by Astellas in Asia;[citation needed] Ironwood Pharmaceuticals was the originator.[8][failed verification] In 2021, it was the 246th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 1million prescriptions.[9][10]
