Approved drug PDB Ligand
migalastat is an approved drug (EMA (2016), FDA (2018))
Compound class: Synthetic organic
Comment: Migalastat was developed by Amicus Therapeutics as a first-in-class oral monotherapy for the treatment of Fabry disease [2]. Mechanistically it acts as a pharmacological chaperone that stabilises certain mutant forms of α-galactosidase that are found in Fabry disease patients and enhances enzyme activity [1]. It is a stereoisomer of 1-deoxynojirimycin.

Summary of Clinical Use Click here for help
Migalastat is approved for the long-term treatment of Fabry disease. It is an effective therapeutic alternative to enzyme replacement therapy for suitable patients [2].
Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects Click here for help
Migalastat binds to and stabilises misfolded/defective forms of α-galactosidase A. This allows the enzyme to be transported into areas of the cell where it can break down cytotoxic sphingolipid globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) that builds up when α-galactosidase A activity is insufficient.
