Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Aficamten, also known as CK-3773274 and CK-274, is a Next-Generation Cardiac Myosin Inhibitor for the Treatment of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. Aficamten was designed to provide a predicted human half-life (t1/2) appropriate for once a day (qd) dosing, to reach steady state within two weeks, to have no substantial cytochrome P450 induction or inhibition, and to have a wide therapeutic window in vivo with a clear pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic relationship. In a phase I clinical trial, aficamten demonstrated a human t1/2 similar to predictions and was able to reach steady state concentration within the desired two-week window.

More Info
Biological target:
Aficamten (CK-274) is a potent cardiac myosin inhibitor with an IC50 of 1.4 μM.
In vitro activity:
TBD
In vivo activity:
To assess the therapeutic window and PK/PD relationship relative to a clinical stage compound, the pharmacodynamic dose and exposure response of aficamten and mavacamten were measured by echocardiography in normal, Sprague–Dawley rats. Aficamten reduced FS (fractional shortening) in a dose-related manner, with a maximal reduction in FS between 70 and 80% relative to vehicle treatment observed 1 h after the highest dose of 4 mg/kg. To strengthen this hypothesis, the therapeutic window and the PK/PD relationship of aficamten was measured in dogs under a similar paradigm as described above for rats. Aficamten produced similar results in rats and dogs, with a free IC10 (IC10-free) of 0.0144 and 0.0178 μM and an IC50-free/IC10-free ratio of 9.9× and 13.0×, respectively.
