Description:

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

Tafamidis, Tafamidis, also known as Fx-1006 or PF-06291826, is a drug for the amelioration of transthyretin-related hereditary amyloidosis (also familial amyloid polyneuropathy, or FAP), a rare but deadly neurodegenerative disease. The drug was approved by the European Medicines Agency in November 2011 and by the Japanese Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency in September 2013. Tafamidis functions by kinetic stabilization of the correctly folded tetrameric form of the transthyretin (TTR) protein.

More Info
Biological target:
Tafamidis is a kinetic stabilizer of transthyretin (TTR) that prevents amyloidogenesis by wild-type and mutant TTRs.
In vitro activity:
At a ligand:TTR tetramer molar ratio of 0.5:1, mds84 tafamidis reduced fibril formation by 40%. At molar equivalence, inhibition increased at 60% with tafamidis. At twofold and greater molar excess of ligand, both monovalent ligands, tafamidis inhibited TTR fibrillogenesis by the same amount (~90%) as mds84. Reference: Sci Rep. 2017 Mar 15;7(1):182. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5428290/
In vivo activity:
Tafamidis, a novel drug to treat transthyretin-related amyloidosis, was studied in rats after intravenous and oral administration at doses of 0.3-3 mg/kg. After intravenous injection, systemic clearance (CL), volumes of distribution at steady state (Vss) and half-life (T½) remained unaltered as a function of dose, with values in the ranges of 6.41-7.03 mL/h/kg, 270-354 mL/kg and 39.5-46.9 h, respectively. Following oral administration, absolute bioavailability was 99.7-104% and was independent of doses from 0.3 to 3 mg/kg. In the urine and faeces, 4.36% and 48.9% of tafamidis, respectively, were recovered. Tafamidis was distributed primarily in the liver and not in the brain, kidney, testis, heart, spleen, lung, gut, muscle, or adipose tissue. Further, tafamidis was very stable in rat liver microsomes, and its plasma protein binding was 99.9%.
