MOA
12.1 Mechanism of Action Aficamten is an allosteric and reversible inhibitor of cardiac myosin motor activity. Aficamten reduces the force generated by myosin at the cardiac sarcomere, which contributes to the pathophysiology of HCM. In patients with HCM, myosin inhibition with aficamten reduces cardiac contractility and left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction.
