Antineoplastic - Menin Inhibitors
Antineoplastic menin inhibitors are a targeted therapeutic drug class designed to disrupt the interaction between the nuclear scaffold protein menin and chromatin-associated proteins, predominantly lysine methyltransferase 2A (KMT2A, formerly MLL). Read more about Antineoplastic - Menin Inhibitors

Drugs in Antineoplastic - Menin Inhibitors
KOMZIFTI (ziftomenib)
Antineoplastic menin inhibitors are a targeted therapeutic drug class designed to disrupt the interaction between the nuclear scaffold protein menin and chromatin-associated proteins, predominantly lysine methyltransferase 2A (KMT2A, formerly MLL).
By blocking this specific protein-protein complex, these agents downregulate oncogenic gene transcription programs—such as HOX and MEIS1—thereby overcoming differentiation arrest and inducing apoptosis in susceptible malignant cells.
Clinically, menin inhibitors are primarily utilized in hematologic oncology to treat relapsed or refractory acute leukemias harboring specific molecular alterations, most notably KMT2A gene rearrangements or nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1) mutations.
