Biological Activity
Vafidemstat is a dual lysine-specific histone demethylase (LSD1)/MAO-B inhibitor.
In Vitro
Vafidemstat (ORY-2001), a dual LSD1/MAO-B inhibitor, is a novel epigenetic agent for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. LSD1 is a protein that participates in transcription regulation complexes; its modulation can be used to tweak transcriptional imbalances in neurodegenerative disease and redress neuroinflammation and cognitive deficit[1]. Vafidemstat (ORY-2001) can be used in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease[2].
