MYK-461 (also known as Mavacamten) is a small-molecule modulator of cardiac myosin that targets the underlying sarcomere hypercontractility of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, one of the most prevalent heritable cardiovascular disorders. Studies on isolated cells and muscle fibers, as well as intact animals, have shown that MYK-461 inhibits sarcomere force production, thereby reducing cardiac contractility. In Phase II clinical trials MYK-461 reduces left ventricular outflow tract obstruction and improve exercise capacity and symptoms in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Phase III clinical trials are currently ongoing.
Vonoprazan (Vonoprazan fumarate or TAK-438) under brand name Takecab, discovered by Takeda, is a new medicine for treating acid-related diseases with a novel mechanism of action called potassium-competitive acid blockers (P-CABs) which competitively inhibits the binding of potassium ions to H+,K+-ATPase (also known as the proton pump) in the final step of gastric acid secretion in gastric parietal cells. The drug is approved in Japan for the treatment of acid-related diseases, including gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, reflux esophagitis and Adjunct to Helicobacter pylori eradication in the case of Helicobacter pylori gastritis.

Otesaconazole (previously known as VT-1161), an antifungal agent, is an oral inhibitor of fungal lanosterol demethylase (CYP51) but did not inhibit human CYP51. Inhibition of CYP51 results in the accumulation of chemicals known to be toxic to the fungus. CYP51 is the molecular target of the class of drugs referred to as 'azole antifungals'. Mycovia pharmaceuticals initiate enrolment in a phase III trial for the treatment of patients with recurrent vaginal candidiasis (yeast infection). In vitro and in vivo pharmacology studies have demonstrated that the drug is highly active against dermatophytes that cause onychomycosis. Viamet successfully completed phase II clinical trials were was studied the efficacy and safety of oral otesaconazole in patients with onychomycosis of the toenail. In addition, Viamet has completed phase II clinical trial, where was studied the efficacy and safety of otesaconazole in patients with moderate-severe interdigital tinea pedis.
Ganaxolone (3alpha-hydroxy-3beta-methyl-5alpha-pregnan-20-one) (GNX) is the 3beta-methylated synthetic analog of allopregnanolone; it belongs to a class of compounds referred to as neurosteroids. GNX is an allosteric modulator of GABA(A) receptors acting through binding sites which are distinct from the benzodiazepine binding site. It has activity in a broad range of animal models of epilepsy. GNX has been shown to be well tolerated in adults and children. In early phase II studies, GNX has been shown to have activity in adult patients with partial-onset seizures and epileptic children with history of infantile spasms. It is currently undergoing further development in infants with newly diagnosed infantile spasms, in women with catamenial epilepsy, and in adults with refractory partial-onset seizures. Ganaxolone is a CNS-selective GABAA modulator being developed in three different dose forms (IV, capsule, and liquid) intended to maximize therapeutic reach to adult and pediatric patients in both acute and chronic care settings.Ganaxolone is a synthetic analog of endogenous allopregnanolone, which has been shown to be an effective anticonvulsant by restoring electrical balance to the seizing brain. While allopregnanolone’s anticonvulsant and anti-anxiety activities are well documented, allopregnanolone has the potential to convert back to its metabolic precursor progesterone, which could lead to hormonal side effects. Ganaxolone has been designed with an added methyl group that prevents back conversion to an active steroid which unlocks ganaxolone’s potential for chronic use. In preclinical studies, ganaxolone exhibited potency and efficacy comparable to allopregnanolone. Both ganaxolone and allopregnanolone bind to GABAA at the synaptic and extrasynaptic binding sites. Activity with extrasynaptic GABAA receptors are of particular importance for treating patients who developed tolerance to benzodiazepines and barbiturates. Ganaxolone binds to the GABAA receptors, which opens the pore to allow chloride ions to move into the postsynaptic neuron, leading to the inhibition of neurotransmission.
ABL-001 (asciminib), a potent and selective allosteric tyrosine-protein kinase ABL1 inhibitor that is undergoing clinical development testing in patients with Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and Philadelphia Chromosome-positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. is a tyrosine-protein kinase ABL1 inhibitor. In contrast to catalytic-site ABL1 kinase inhibitors, ABL001 binds to the myristoyl pocket of ABL1 and induces the formation of an inactive kinase conformation. ABL001 and second-generation catalytic inhibitors have similar cellular potencies but distinct patterns of resistance mutations, with genetic barcoding studies revealing pre-existing clonal populations with no shared resistance between ABL001 and the catalytic inhibitor nilotinib. ABL001 was tested on mice with a particularly aggressive type of CML. The combination of ABL001 and nilotinib led to complete disease control and eradicated CML xenograft tumors without recurrence after the cessation of treatment. ABL001 is being tested in clinical trials for treatment of CML and Philadelphia Chromosome-positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia alone and in combination with niotinib, imatinib or dasatinib.

Ponesimod is an experimental drug for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) graft-versus-host disease and psoriasis. It acts on certain types of white blood cells (lymphocytes) which are involved in the autoimmune attack on myelin seen in multiple sclerosis (MS). Ponesimod is an orally active, reversible, and selective sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor (S1PR1) modulator. The drug is in phase II clinical trial for the treatment of graft-versus-host disease. In addition, the phase III clinical trial comparing ponesimod to teriflunomide in relapsing-remitting MS is ongoing.

A-4250 (odevixibat) is a selective inhibitor of the ileal bile acid transporter (IBAT) that acts locally in the gut. Ileum absorbs glyco-and taurine-conjugated forms of the bile salts. IBAT is the first step in absorption at the brush-border membrane. A-4250 works by decreasing the re-absorption of bile acids from the small intestine to the liver, whichreduces the toxic levels of bile acids during the progression of the disease. It exhibits therapeutic intervention by checking the transport of bile acids. Studies show that A-4250 has the potential to decrease the damage in the liver cells and the development of fibrosis/cirrhosis of the liver known to occur in progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis. A-4250 is a designated orphan drug in the USA for October 2012. A-4250 is a designated orphan drug in the EU for October 2016. A-4250 was awarded PRIME status for PFIC by EMA in October 2016. A-4250 is in phase II clinical trials by Albireo for the treatment of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) and cholestatic pruritus. In an open label Phase 2 study in children with cholestatic liver disease and pruritus, odevixibat showed reductions in serum bile acids and pruritus in most patients and exhibited a favorable overall tolerability profile.
