Irafamdastat (INNTooltip International Nonproprietary Name, USANTooltip United States Adopted Name; developmental code names BMS-986368 and CC-97489) is a centrally penetrant dual fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) inhibitor and monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) inhibitor which is under development for the treatment of agitation, muscle spasticity, and neurological disorders.[1][3][4][2][5] It is taken orally.[1][2]

The drug is an irreversible inhibitor of both FAAH and MAGL, with IC50Tooltip half-maximal inhibitory concentration values of 32 nM and 480 nM, respectively.[4][2][5] By inhibiting these enzymes, irafamdastat is thought to increase levels of the endocannabinoids anandamide (AEA) and 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), and thereby to indirectly activate the cannabinoid CB1 and CB2 receptors.[4][2][5] It produces anticonvulsant effects in animals.[2] The drug is described as a potential first-in-class medication.[2][5]

Irafamdastat is under development by Bristol Myers Squibb (via acquisition of Celgene Corporation).[1][3][4] As of May 2026, it is in phase 2 clinical trials for agitation and muscle spasticity and is in phase 1 trials for neurological disorders.[1][3][5]
