Fusion heterocyclic compounds have various biological activities, such as anticancer, antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory, and thus have been widely used in the field of medicinal chemistry. Pyrrolopyrimidines are a major class of fused heterocyclic compounds. Compared with single pyrrole and pyrimidine cores, pyrrolopyrimidines have more diverse and effective pharmacological characteristics as fusion scaffolds.
Biomea Fusion’s BMF-219 demonstrates promising early signs of clinical activity, with its ability to achieve durable and sustained complete responses (CRs) and minimal residual disease negativity (MRD-neg) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Biomea Fusion recently presents this First Complete Responder from Ongoing Phase I Study at the 2023 ASH.
BMF-219 is the first and only covalent menin inhibitor in clinical development for AML, ALL, DLBCL, MM and CLL. Additionally, BMF-219 is being explored for its potential to regenerate insulin-producing beta cells as a treatment of type 1 diabetes.
