Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including http://musculardystrophynews.com/2016/01/12/grunenthal-and-akashi- therapeutics-inc-announce-joint-drug-development-program-for-ht-100-in-the-treatment-of-patients-with-duchenne-muscular-dystrophy-dmd/

Halofuginone is a low molecular weight quinazolinone alkaloid, and a potent inhibitor of collagen alpha1(I) and matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) gene expression. Halofuginone also effectively suppresses tumor progression and metastasis in mice. Halofuginone is a potent inhibitor of collagen a1(I) and matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) gene expression. Halofuginone also suppresses extracellular matrix deposition and cell proliferation. Also was shown that halofuginone increased apoptosis in α smooth muscle actin- and prolyl 4-hydroxylase β-expressing cells in mdx diaphragm and in myofibroblasts, the major source of extracellular matrix. The profound antitumoral effect of halofuginone is attributed to its combined inhibition of tumour-stromal support, vascularization, invasiveness, and cell proliferation. HT-100 (delayed-release halofuginone), currently in clinical phase 1b/2a in five U.S. hospitals, is a small molecule drug candidate taken orally for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients primarily through its ability to reduce fibrosis and inflammation and promote muscle fiber regeneration. The medicine candidate has been granted orphan drug designation in the U.S. and the EU — meaning it has been commercially undeveloped due to its limited profitability — and fast-track designation in the U.S. — an FDA process that aims to facilitate the development and patients’ reach to novel therapies for unmet medical needs.

Route of Administration: Oral
Small molecule halofuginone (HF) (with a median inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 3.6 ± 0.4 nM) selectively inhibits mouse and human TH17 differentiation by activating a cytoprotective signaling pathway, the amino acid starvation response (AAR). Inhibition of TH17 differentiation by HF is rescued by the addition of excess amino acids and is mimicked by AAR activation after selective amino acid depletion. HF also induces the AAR in vivo and protects mice from TH17-associated experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis
