Amsulostat is an orally available, small-molecule, irreversible inhibitor of all lysyl oxidases (LOX) family members, with potential antifibrotic activity. Upon oral administration, amsulostat targets, binds to and inhibits the activity of all enzymes in the LOX family. This prevents the post-translational oxidative deamination of lysine residues on target proteins, including collagen and elastin, and reduces the formation of deaminated lysine (allysine), the formation of inter- and intramolecular cross-linkages and may prevent remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM), thereby reducing fibrotic tissue formation in certain chronic fibrotic diseases. LOX is often upregulated in fibrotic tissue and plays a key role in fibrosis.

Amsulostat (formerly PXS-5505) is an orally available, investigational, pan-lysyl oxidase (pan-LOX) inhibitor designed by Syntara to treat fibrotic diseases and solid tumors. It works by preventing collagen cross-linking and remodeling of the extracellular matrix, effectively reducing fibrosis. The drug is currently in Phase 2 clinical trials for myelofibrosis, showing promise in reducing symptom burden and spleen volume, and is also being studied for myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and pancreatic cancer. 

Key Aspects of Amsulostat:

• Mechanism of Action: Irreversibly inhibits all LOX family members (LOX, LOXL1-4), reducing fibrotic tissue.
• Clinical Status (Myelofibrosis): Phase 2a data showed 73% of patients (who were suboptimal responders to ruxolitinib) achieved  reduction in total symptom score, with significant spleen volume reduction.
• Clinical Status (Other Cancers): Phase 2 trials (AZALOX) are evaluating its use in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML). It is also being tested in combination with chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer to improve drug delivery to tumors.
• Regulatory Status: Has received Orphan Drug Designation for primary myelofibrosis from the FDA (USA) and EMA (Europe).
• Safety Profile: Clinical trials have reported it is well-tolerated with no treatment-related serious adverse events in early findings.

Amsulostat’s ability to target the stiff, fibrotic environment surrounding tumors makes it a promising “add-on” therapy to increase the effectiveness of existing cancer treatments, including chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
