Synonyms: SAR-441566 | SAR441566
Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: SAR441566 is a small molecule that binds to TNF and disrupts signalling [2]. The chemical structure is claimed in UCB Biopharma/Sanofi patent WO2016050975A1 [1] and is a match for the INN balinatunfib (from INN proposed list 131, Aug. 2024). Mechanistically, balinatunfib/SAR441566 stabilises the TNF trimer in an inactive conformation [2]. It has been proposed as an orally available alternative to deliver the same therapeutic outcome as anti-TNF biologics in chronic autoimmune diseases.
