Miglustat, sold under the brand name Zavesca, is a medication used to treat type I Gaucher disease (GD1). It was developed by Oxford GlycoSciences and is marketed by Actelion.

Miglustat is the first treatment to be approved for treating progressive neurological complications in people with Niemann–Pick disease, type C (NPC).

It was approved for medical use in the European Union in November 2002,[4][5] and for medical use in the United States in July 2003.[6][7]

Medical uses

Miglustat is indicated to treat adults with mild to moderate type I Gaucher disease for whom enzyme replacement therapy is unsuitable.[8]

Contraindications

Miglustat is contraindicated for people with neurological conditions, kidney problems, women who are pregnant, and men and women planning to conceive a child.[9]

Adverse effects

Serious side effects include pain, burning, numbness or tingling in the hands, arms, legs, or feet; shaking hands that cannot be controlled; changes in vision; and easy bruising or bleeding. Common side effects include gastrointestinal effects (including diarrhea, stomach pain or bloating, gas, loss of appetite, weight loss, upset stomach, vomiting, constipation), dry mouth, muscular effects (including weakness, muscle cramps, especially in the legs, feeling of heaviness in the arms or legs, unsteadiness when walking), back pain, dizziness, nervousness, headache, memory problems, and difficult or irregular menstruation (period).[9]

Mechanism of action

Type I Gaucher's disease is an autosomal recessive disorder; parents are generally healthy carriers with one functional and one mutated (nonfunctioning) copy of the Gaucher disease gene, GBA. People with type I Gaucher have a defect in the enzyme called glucocerebrosidase (also known as acid β-glucosidase). Glucocerebrosidase is an enzyme, and its function is to convert glucocerebroside (also known as glucosylceramide) into ceramide and glucose. When this enzyme doesn't work, glucocerebroside accumulates, which in turn causes liver and spleen enlargement, changes in the bone marrow and blood, and bone disease. It functions as a competitive and reversible inhibitor of the enzyme glucosylceramide synthase, the initial enzyme in a series of reactions which results in the synthesis of most glycosphingolipids.[10][11]

Earlier treatments on the market (imiglucerase (approved in 1995),[12] velaglucerase (approved in 2010),[13] taliglucerase alfa (Elelyso) (approved in 2012)[14]) are enzyme replacement therapy - they are functioning versions of the enzyme that doesn't work. Miglustat works differently - it prevents the formation of the substance that builds up when the enzyme doesn't work; this is called substrate reduction therapy.[15]

Chemistry

Miglustat is an iminosugar, a synthetic analogue of D-glucose[16] and a white to off-white crystalline solid that has a bitter taste.[17]

Society and culture

For the treatment of Niemann–Pick disease, type C, it was approved in the European Union in 2009, Canada in 2010, and Japan in 2012, but not in the US where the FDA declined to approve it in 2010, and called for more data.[18][19][20][21]

Research

In July 2004, Actelion started a clinical trial of miglustat to treat Tay–Sachs disease, particularly late-onset Tay–Sachs with an estimated enrollment of 10 subjects; the trial ended August 2007.[22]

In November 2007, Actelion initiated a clinical trial with miglustat in people with cystic fibrosis (CF) who have the ΔF508 in both copies of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene; the study ended in March 2008.[23] The cystic fibrosis trial showed no effect.[24]
