STRUCTURE: Mavacamten, 3-(1-methylethyl)-6-[[(1S)-1-phenylethyl] amino]-2, 4 (1H, 3H)-pyrimidinedione, is a reversible small molecule allosteric inhibitor of cardiac myosin ATPase with a molecular formula of C15H19N3O2 and molecular weight of 273.33 g/mol. It belongs to the pyrimidinedione drug class. MECHANISM OF ACTION: The cardiac walls of patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy are thicker, primarily in the left ventricle. This is due to myocyte and myofibrillar disarray and excessive cardiac cell growth (A), which can be genetic or result from infiltrative disease such as amyloidosis. The structural changes to heart tissue affect actin-myosin cross-bridges, which are responsible for cardiac contraction and therefore blood distribution throughout the body. An overabundance of these actin-myosin cross-bridges, as seen in obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, results in Left Ventricular Outflow Tract (LVOT) obstruction and impaired cardiac filling, which patients experience as chest pain, shortness of breath, syncope, and fatigue. Conversion of ATP to ADP provides the energy necessary for actin-myosin cross-bridges formation. Mavacamten reversibly binds to an allosteric site on cardiac myosin ATPase, inhibiting the hydrolysis of myosin bound ATP. This limits the number of myosin heads that are available to bind actin, which then reduces actin-myosin cross-bridge formation in both systole (force-producing cross-bridges) and diastole (residual cross-bridges)(B). By decreasing the number of cross-bridges, Mavacamten normalizes LVOT pressure and cardiac filling, thereby ameliorating functional capacity and reducing symptoms.
