Glucosylceramide synthase inhibitors Understanding

Glucosylceramide synthase inhibitors: Overview

Glucosylceramide synthase (GCS) is a glucosyltranserase that processes the sphingolipid ceramide. The product, glucosylceramide, can be further elaborated with a variety of oligosaccharides to become glycosphingolipids called gangliosides (most notably GM1 and GM3). Excess glycosphingolipids have been correlated with a variety of human diseases. The pathologies associated with lysosomal storage disorders (Gaucher, Fabry, Tay-Sachs, and Sandhoff) stem from improper disposal of glucosylceramide and other glycosphingolipids. Gaucher disease (GD) is caused by a deficiency of glucocerebrosidase and the consequent lysosomal accumulation of unmetabolized glycolipid substrates. Substrate reduction therapy through inhibition of glucosylceramide synthase (GCS) has also been shown to effectively treat the visceral disease.

Glucosylceramide synthase inhibitors Emerging Drugs
• Lucerastat: Idorsia Pharmaceuticals

Lucerastat inhibits glycolipid biosynthesis. Lucerastat is an orally bioavailable inhibitor of glucosylceramide synthase. Lucerastat is being developed by the biopharmaceutical company Idorsia for the treatment of Fabry disease. It is currently in Phase III stage of development. It acts as Glucosylceramide synthase inhibitor. In 2018, Lucerastat has received Orphan Drug designation in the US and in the EU for Fabry disease.
• Venglustat: Sanofi

Venglustat is an investigational oral glucosylceramide synthase inhibitor in development for multiple diseases with disruptions in the GSL metabolic pathway. These diseases include three lysosomal storage disorders: Gaucher disease type 3, Fabry disease and GM2 gangliosidosis as well as autosomal dominant polycystic kidney (ADPKD) disease and GBA-associated Parkinson’s disease. The FDA has granted Fast Track designation for the development of venglustat as an investigational therapy for the treatment of Gaucher disease type 3, Fabry disease and GM2 gangliosidosis. Sanofi has been granted Orphan Drug Designation for venglustat in Europe and the U.S. for treatment of patients with Fabry disease, ADPKD, Gaucher disease and GM2 gangliosidosis.
