BMN 349, A SMALL MOLECULE FOR ALPHA-1 ANTITRYPSIN ASSOCIATED LIVER DISEASE, STABILIZES HUMAN Z-AAT AND REDUCES SEVERITY OF LIVER DISEASE IN THE PIZ MOUSE MODEL (AASLD 2024) - "BMN 349 stabilizes monomeric human Z-AAT, blocking formation of polymers and allowing for normal secretion to plasma. This appears to reduce pro-necro-inflammatory processes in hepatocytes. The reduction in ER stress and UPR biomarkers in BMN 349-treated mice suggests that diminishing the accumulation of Z-AAT in the liver reduces pathways that may lead to hepatocyte cell death."

BIOANALYTICAL . METHODS: TO ASSESS PHARMACOKINETICS AND PHARMACODYNAMICS OF BMN 349, A SMALL MOLECULE THERAPEUTIC FOR ALPHA1 ANTITRYPSIN DEFICIENCY (AASLD 2024) - "We developed and validated a suite of bioanalytical methods to measure pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of BMN 349 in human plasma. These assays will be used to support clinical development of BMN 349 to treat humans with AATD."

PLASMA PROTEOMIC PROFILING IDENTIFIES PROTEIN LEVEL CHANGES ASSOCIATED WITH ALPHA-1 ANTITRYPSIN DEFICIENCY LIVER DISEASE PATHWAYS (AASLD 2024) - "BMN 349, a small molecule that blocks Z-AAT polymerization, was assessed for its effects on plasma protein levels in PiZ mice... Proteomics in people with AATD and PiZ mice identified circulating proteins associated with pathways known to be dysregulated in AATD liver disease. With further research, a subset of these proteins could serve as noninvasive biomarkers to provide a more complete picture of AATD liver pathogenesis and response to treatment."

A small molecule chaperone for alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency-associated liver disease reduces liver polymer burden in the PiZ mouse model (EASL-ILC 2022) - "Taken together, these data indicate that BMN 349 is effective in reducing Z-AAT polymer burden, reversing liver damage, and restoring liver function in the PiZ mouse model."
