The World Health Organization's ATC classification organizes medical drugs based on therapeutic properties, chemical composition, and anatomy. It helps make essential medicines readily available globally and is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry.

Mavacamten |
Mavacamten is a selective, allosteric, and reversible cardiac myosin inhibitor. Mavacamten modulates the number of myosin heads that can enter power-generating states, thus reducing (or in HCM normalizing) the probability of force-producing systolic and residual diastolic cross-bridge formation. Mavacamten also shifts the overall myosin population towards an energy-sparing, but recruitable, super-relaxed state. In HCM patients, cardiac myosin inhibition with mavacamten normalises contractility, reduces dynamic LVOT obstruction, and improves cardiac filling pressures. |
