Active Ingredient Description
Miglustat

Miglustat is an inhibitor of glucosylceramide synthase, the enzyme responsible for the first step in the synthesis of most glycolipids, and a pharmacokinetic enzyme stabiliser of cipaglucosidase alfa. Miglustat is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with mild to moderate type 1 Gaucher disease and for the treatment of progressive neurological manifestations in patients with Niemann-Pick type C disease. Also, miglustat must be used in combination with cipaglucosidase alfa for long-term enzyme replacement therapy in adults with late-onset Pompe disease (acid α-glucosidase [GAA] deficiency).
