aficamten
The Cytokinetics next-generation myosin inhibitor, aficamten , is a phase II candidate for genetic hypertrophic cardiomyopathies, and is orally dosed between 5-30 mg QD. It follows BMS’s mavacamten ( acquired from Myokardia in a $13.1B deal), whose NDA is under review by the FDA. This class of molecules is intended to address hypertrophic [...]
MK-8262
The Merck CETP inhibitor backup, MK-8262 , is potential best-in-class CETP inhibitor, which was only discontinued as a backup due to the success of its predecessor, anacetrapib in Ph. III. Reviewer Kim Huard thought this CETP inhibitor was a great piece of work from Merck, and is a great example how to deal with a very lipophilic binding site [...]
SAR247799
The Sanofi S1P1 agonist, SAR247799 , is a biased agonist of the S1P1 sphingosine receptor, preferentially activating G-protein signaling over the β-arrestin and internalization pathways. Commercial S1P1 modulators such as fingolimod and ozanimod exert their immunosuppressive effects in multiple sclerosis and other diseases primarily by [...]
NT-0796
NT-0796 is NodThera's pro-drug inhibitor of the NLRP3 inflammasome. NT-0796 is currently in a Ph. Ib/IIa trial in obese individuals at risk of developing atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. NT-0796 has the potential to reduce neuroinflammation in Parkinson’s disease. The NLRP3 inflammasome has emerged as a hot target due to its connection to Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, gout, and other diseases. Here is a detailed review of the role of NLRP3 inhibition in treating atherosclerosis, how NT-0796 was identified, and what makes it special, clinical development, and more.
BAY 2413555
BAY 2413555 is a M2R PAM that has the potential to counter parasympathetic withdrawal and restore autonomic balance in heart failure patients. The preclinical and clinical data of BAY 2413555 showed it has positive effects on heart rate and heart rate variability and a relatively long human t1/2 of 37 h. The Ph. I trial, however, was terminated in March 2024 due to findings from a chronic toxicology study. This article covers the discovery of BAY 2413555, presented by Alexandros Vakalopoulos of Bayer at the EFMC-ISMC 2024 conference in Rome and published in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry.
