Description:

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

Miglustat, also known as OGT 918 and NB-DNJ, is a drug developed by Actelion and is used primarily to treat Type I Gaucher disease (GD1). Miglustat inhibits glucosylceramide synthase, an essential enzyme for the synthesis of most glycosphingolipids (it forms glucosylceramide and accumulates within the macrophages). Miglustat is used to treat adults with mild-to-moderate Type I Gaucher disease and it is the first treatment to be approved for patients with Niemann–Pick type C disease

More Info
Miglustat may only be used in the treatment of Type I Gaucher patients for whom enzyme replacement therapy is unsuitable  and it's been approved in the European Union for the treatment of progressive neurological manifestations in adult or pediatric patients with Niemann–Pick type C disease (NPC). It has also been approved for NPC treatment in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Israel, Russia, Switzerland and Turkey but not in the United States. (copied from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miglustat). The primary pharmacological activity of miglustat is inhibition of the enzyme glucosylceramide synthase, catalyzing the first step in the biosynthesis of glycosphingolipids (GSL), i.e., the formation of glucosylceramide (GlcCer). Reduced formation of GlcCer will lead to decreased biosynthesis of more complex GSL. This therapeutic principle, called substrate reduction therapy (SRT), may be useful in disorders of intracellular (predominantly lysosomal) accumulation of GSL either due to their deficient breakdown or intracellular transport/trafficking. Miglustat exhibits a large volume of distribution and has the capacity to access deep organs such as the brain, bone and lung. (copied from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miglustat).    
Product Data
Biological target:
Miglustat (N-Butyldeoxynojirimycin) hydrochloride is an orally active ceramide glucosyltransferase inhibitor.
In vitro activity:
This study reports that in human airway epithelial CF15 cells treated with the CFTR corrector miglustat (n-butyldeoxynojyrimicin), whole-cell patch-clamp experiments showed reduced amiloride-sensitive ENaC current in parallel with a rescue of defective CFTR Cl- channel activity activated by forskolin and genistein. Reference: J Pharmacol Exp Ther. 2008 Jun;325(3):1016-23. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18309088/
In vivo activity:
To evaluate the efficacy of miglustat for fibrosis mitigation, C57BL/6 mice were treated with carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) for 4 weeks to induce liver fibrosis, followed by combined CCl4 plus miglustat for a further 2 weeks. Miglustat dose-dependently downregulated expression of α-smooth muscle actin and ECM components in TGF-β-treated HHSteCs. Both phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of Smad2 and Smad3 were also suppressed by miglustat treatment.
