DUX4 protein inhibitors Understanding

DUX4 protein inhibitors: Overview

Double homeobox 4 (DUX4) is a transcription factor implicated in zygotic genome activation (ZGA) during the four-cell stage in human embryos where it acts as an activator of repetitive elements and cleavage-specific genes. DUX4 is considered to be epigenetically repressed in most somatic tissues, including in skeletal muscles. DUX4 is an embryonic transcription factor whose misexpression in skeletal muscle causes facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD). DUX4 induces the transcription of thousands of RNAs and dysregulates multiple pathways that could contribute to FSHD pathophysiology. DUX4 protein is 424 amino acids long. Two homeodomains are situated at the N-terminus. A transcription-activating domain (TAD) and p300-binding domain are situated at the C-terminus. The TAD encompasses a potential nine amino acid TAD (9aaTAD).

DUX4 protein inhibitors Emerging Drugs
• Losmapimod: Fulcrum Therapeutics

Losmapimod is a selective p38α/β mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitor that was exclusively in-licensed from GSK by Fulcrum Therapeutics following Fulcrum’s discovery of the role of p38α/β inhibitors in the reduction of DUX4 expression and an extensive review of known compounds. Utilizing its internal product engine, Fulcrum discovered that inhibition of p38α/β reduced expression of the DUX4 gene in muscle cells derived from patients with FSHD. In 2020, the company received U.S. and European Orphan Drug Designation for losmapimod for the treatment of FSHD. In May 2021, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Fast Track designation to losmapimod for the treatment of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD). The Company is evaluating the efficacy and safety of losmapimod in patients with FSHD in the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase IIb ReDUX4 trial.
