Abstract

Mitapivat is an orally bioavailable small molecule allosteric activator of pyruvate kinase. It was approved by the US FDA on February 17, 2022, and the European Union in November 2022 for the treatment of hemolytic anemia in adult patients with pyruvate kinase deficiency. In this short perspective, physicochemical properties, synthesis, dosage and administration, mechanism of action, pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, drug interactions, and adverse reactions of mitapivat are described.
