Description

Fosdenopterin (NulibryTM) is a synthetic cyclic pyranopterin monophosphate that is being developed by Origin Biosciences (a subsidiary of BridgeBio Pharma) for the treatment of molybdenum cofactor deficiency (MoCD) type A. Patients with MoCD Type A have mutations in the MOCS1 gene leading to deficient MOCS1A/B dependent synthesis of the intermediate substrate, cPMP. Substrate replacement therapy with NULIBRY provides an exogenous source of cPMP, which is converted to molybdopterin. Molybdopterin is then converted to molybdenum cofactor, which is needed for the activation of molybdenum-dependent enzymes, including sulfite oxidase (SOX), an enzyme that reduces levels of neurotoxic sulfites. Fosdenopterin was approved by the US FDA in February 2021 for use in reducing the risk of mortality in paediatric and adult patients with MoCD type A.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
Administer as an intravenous infusion once daily at a rate of 1.5 mL/minute with non-DEHP tubing with a 0.2 micron filter. Volumes below 2 mL may require syringe administration through slow intravenous push. Initial dosage (preterm neonates): 0.4 mg/kg once daily; Initial dosage (term neonates): 0.55 mg/kg once daily; Month 1 (preterm neonates): 0.7 mg/kg once daily; Month 1 (term neonates): 0.75 mg/kg once daily; Month 3 (preterm neonates): 0.9 mg/kg once daily; Month 3 (term neonates): 0.9 mg/kg once daily.
Route of Administration: Intravenous
In Vitro Use Guide
Fosdenopterin had no inhibitory effect on a variety of ion channels tested in an in vitro panel, with IC50 values >300uM.
