eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B (eIF2B) activator, DNL-343, DNL 343, FYL3Y9D7SK

Evetifator (also known as DNL343) is a potent, selective, and brain-penetrant small molecule activator of eukaryotic initiation factor 2B (eIF2B). As of 2026, it is primarily being investigated for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Key Characteristics and Function

Mechanism of Action: It acts as an eIF2B activator. eIF2B is a critical regulator of protein synthesis; by activating it, the drug aims to address the Integrated Stress Response (ISR) which, when chronically activated, leads to neurodegeneration.
Pharmacological Profile:
- Potency: It shows an IC50cap I cap C sub 50𝐼𝐶50 of 3.2 nM in cellular reporter assays.
- Brain Penetration: It is specifically designed to cross the blood-brain barrier to target the central nervous system (CNS).

was cooled to rt often causing the product to crystallize out of solution. This solid was collected by removal of the supernatant. If the product did not crystallize, the solution was concentrated, and the crude product was sufficiently pure to use in subsequent steps.
