Myotonic Dystrophy Emerging Drugs Profile

Mexiletine: Lupin

Mexiletine, developed by Lupin under names like Mexiletine hydrochloride and Namuscla, is a class Ib antiarrhythmic drug primarily used for treating muscle stiffness associated with myotonic dystrophy. As a sodium channel antagonist, mexiletine works by blocking voltage-gated sodium channels in skeletal muscle fibers. This prevents excessive sodium influx, which is responsible for the delayed muscle relaxation characteristic of myotonia. By stabilizing the cell membrane and reducing repetitive firing in hyperexcitable muscle cells, mexiletine effectively alleviates muscle stiffness and cramping, offering symptomatic relief for patients with myotonic dystrophy. Currently, the drug is in the Phase III stage of its clinical trial for the treatment of myotonic dystrophy.

Pitolisant: Harmony Biosciences

Pitolisant (WAKIX) is a selective histamine 3 (H3) receptor antagonist/inverse agonist. The mechanism of action of WAKIX is unclear; however, its efficacy could be mediated through its activity at H3 receptors, thereby increasing the synthesis and release of histamine, a wake-promoting neurotransmitter. WAKIX was designed and developed by Bioprojet (France). Harmony has an exclusive license from Bioprojet to develop, manufacture, and commercialize pitolisant in the United States. Currently, the drug is being investigated in Phase II clinical trial evaluation for the treatment of Myotonic Dystrophy.

ARO-DM1: Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

ARO-DM1 is an RNA interference (RNAi) conjugate designed to specifically silence DMPK mRNA in skeletal muscle. Published literature suggests that the silencing of aberrantly transcribed DMPK mRNA using ARO-DM1 may halt CUGexp-related spliceopathies in patients with DM1, leading to improved muscle strength and function. It belongs to a class of medicines called RNA therapeutics. The drug candidate is administered intravenously. ARO-DM1 is currently in the Phase I stage of development for the treatment of myotonic dystrophy.
