| Bioactivity | Mitapivat (AG-348) is an orally active pyruvate kinase allosteric activator. Mitapivat increases enzymatic activity, protein stability, and ATP levels over a broad range of PKLR genotypes, shows the potential to restore the activity of PK (pyruvate kinase)-deficient glycolytic pathways. Mitapivat can be used in study of PK deficiency[1][2][3]. | ||||||||||||
| Target | pyruvate kinase. | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | Mitapivat (0.1 nM-100 µM; 16 h) activates WT PK-R in RBCs from healthy donors[1].Mitapivat (0.01 nM-10 µM; 16 h) promotes production of ATP in RBC cells in a dose-dependent manner[1]. Cell Viability Assay[1] Cell Line: | ||||||||||||
