Drug class
Antihemolytic - Pyruvate Kinase (PK) Activator
The label "Antihemolytic - Pyruvate Kinase (PK) Activator" represents a hybrid classification reflecting therapeutic intent and mechanism, while the standard FDA established pharmacologic class (EPC) is simply "pyruvate kinase activator." These agents allosterically bind to red blood cell pyruvate kinase, enhancing glycolytic enzyme activity to boost cellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production and decrease 2,3-diphosphoglycerate levels.

PYRUKYND (mitapivat sulfate)
AQVESME (mitapivat sulfate)
The label "Antihemolytic - Pyruvate Kinase (PK) Activator" represents a hybrid classification reflecting therapeutic intent and mechanism, while the standard FDA established pharmacologic class (EPC) is simply "pyruvate kinase activator." These agents allosterically bind to red blood cell pyruvate kinase, enhancing glycolytic enzyme activity to boost cellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production and decrease 2,3-diphosphoglycerate levels.
This metabolic restoration improves red blood cell membrane stability and survival, producing an antihemolytic effect that directly mitigates premature erythrocyte destruction.
Clinically, the class is used to treat hemolytic anemia associated with hereditary pyruvate kinase deficiency and is under active investigation for broader hemolytic hemoglobinopathies, including thalassemia and sickle cell disease.
