Vafidemstat (INN Tooltip International Nonproprietary Name ; developmental code name ORY-2001 ) is a dual inhibitor of the enzymes lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1; KDM1A) and monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) which is under development for the treatment of a variety of medical conditions , including aggression , Alzheimer's disease , borderline personality disorder , multiple sclerosis , acute respiratory disease in COVID-19 infection , and schizophrenia .[ 1] [ 3] [ 2] It is or was also being developed for several other indications, but no recent development has been reported for these uses.[ 1] The drug is taken by mouth .[ 1]
As of October 2024, vafidemstat is in phase 2 clinical trials for aggression, Alzheimer's disease, borderline personality disorder, multiple sclerosis, COVID-19 acute respiratory disease, and schizophrenia.[ 1] Conversely, no recent development has been reported for autism , dementia , Huntington's disease , Parkinson's disease , and telomeric 22q13 monosomy syndrome .[ 1] It is being developed by Oryzon.[ 1] [ 3]
Other LSD1 inhibitors that are under development for medical use include bomedemstat (IMG-7289), iadademstat (ORY-1001), phenelzine (Nardil), pulrodemstat (CC-90011), seclidemstat (SP-2577), and tranylcypromine (Parnate).[ 2] [ 4] Another drug, zavondemstat (QC8222, TACH101), is a pan-inhibitor of lysine-specific demethylase 4 (LSD4; KDM4).[ 5] [ 6] [ 7] Vafidemstat contains the chemical structure of (1S ,2R )-tranylcypromine within its own structure.[ 8]
