Maple Syrup Urine Disease: Understanding

Maple Syrup Urine Disease: Overview

Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is a rare genetic metabolic disorder called an inborn error of metabolism (IEM). For people with MSUD, the body does not have enough of a properly working enzyme needed to break down certain amino acids (building blocks of protein).This enzyme is called the branched chain alpha ketoacid dehydrogenase (BCKD) complex. MSUD is caused by mutations in the genes involved in making the BCKD complex, which breaks down the amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine (also called branched-chain amino acids, BCAA). These amino acids are found in protein-rich foods. The amino acids and their by-products build up in the bodies of people with MSUD, and can result in damage to the brain and other organs. MSUD is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, which means that both parents have one defective copy of the gene, which is passed on to the affected child. MSUD occurs in approximately 1 in 185,000 infants, but is more common in Old Order Mennonites, where it has a frequency of 1 in 380. It is equally likely to affect males and females. MSUD is sometimes subdivided into 4 types: classic, intermediate, intermittent and thiamine-responsive. Diagnosis of MSUD is based on symptoms and biochemical testing of blood and urine. It is confirmed with molecular genetic testing for mutations in the genes that encode BCKD. Tests may also be done to measure enzyme activity but this testing is becoming less readily available. MSUD can also be detected using newborn screening, which is now being performed in the U.S. and other developed countries. There are two main aspects to managing all types of MSUD: chronic treatment with a special diet and acute treatment of a metabolic crisis (where the stress of fasting, dehydration, and/or a serious illness triggers severe symptoms) when it occurs.

Maple Syrup Urine Disease Emerging Drugs

 

ACER 001: Acer Therapeutics

ACER-001 is a taste-masked, immediate-release formulation of sodium phenylbutyrate (NaPB) developed using a microencapsulation process. Treatment with NaPB is currently being studied as a treatment for people with maple syrup urine disease (MSUD). NaPB is approved for people with urea cycle disorders (UCDs) to control their ammonia levels in conjunction with a restricted diet. ACER-001 was granted orphan drug designation as a potential treatment for MSUD in 2014.
