Mavacamten mechanism of action

Mavacamten is the first and only licensed selective, allosteric and reversible cardiac myosin inhibitor for symptomatic NYHA class II and III
obstructive HCM.1

Mavacamten is the only licensed non-invasive oral therapy that targets the underlying pathophysiology of obstructive HCM by reducing excess formation of myosin-actin cross bridging.1–3

Mavacamten modulates the number of myosin heads that can enter power-generating states, thus reducing the probability of force-producing systolic and residual diastolic cross-bridge formation.1
