Acoramidis
Acoramidis
Definition
A potent, highly selective, orally bioavailable transthyretin (TTR) stabilizer with potential disease-modifying activity. Upon oral administration, acoramidis binds to and stabilizes transthyretin (TTR), thereby preventing tetramer dissociation into monomers. This prevents misfolding of the TTR protein and inhibits the formation of TTR amyloid fibrils and the subsequent deposition of these insoluble protein clusters in the heart and peripheral nerves. TTR is a transport protein for thyroxine and retinol and is secreted by the liver into the blood. The accumulation of TTR amyloid fibrils may result in thickening and stiffening of the ventricular wall, leading to heart failure.
