mitapivat is an approved drug (EMA & FDA (2022))
Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: Mitapivat (AG-348) is a first-in-class, small molecule allosteric activator of the pyruvate kinases. It activates the PK isoform that is found in erythrocytes (PKR protein that is expressed from the PKLR gene) and the embryonic PKM2 isoform (expressed from the PKM gene) that is only expressed by cancer cells in adult tissues. Mitapivat was developed by Agios Pharmaceuticals as a novel therapy for diseases of red blood cells that are associated with inherited PKR deficiency [2], and for potential in cancer therapy via activation of PKM2. Activation of PK in red cells increases hemoglobin levels [4-5]. The active drug is the sulfate hydrate (PubChem CID 134693700). We show the structure for the parent molecule as described by its INN.
Ligand Activity Visualisation ChartsThese are box plot that provide a unique visualisation, summarising all the activity data for a ligand taken from ChEMBL and GtoPdb across multiple targets and species. Click on a plot to see the median, interquartile range, low and high data points. A value of zero indicates that no data are available. A separate chart is created for each target, and where possible the algorithm tries to merge ChEMBL and GtoPdb targets by matching them on name and UniProt accession, for each available species. However, please note that inconsistency in naming of targets may lead to data for the same target being reported across multiple charts. ✖ |
