Afegostat HCl (Isofagomine HCl, AT2101), designed as a pharmacological chaperone,
is an investigational drug for the treatment of
certain forms of Gaucher's disease. Isofagomine (IFG) is an acid
β-glucosidase (GCase) active site inhibitor that acts as a
pharmacological chaperone. FG inhibits GCase with K(i) ~30 nM for
wild-type and mutant enzymes (N370S and V394L). Administration of IFG
(30 mg/kg/day) to the mice homozygous for GCase mutations (V394L, D409H,
or D409V) led to increased GCase activity in visceral tissues and brain
extracts.
