Compound class: Synthetic organic
Comment: Icenticaftor (QBW251) is a compound that potentiates/improves transport of chloride ions via mutant cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) ion channels [1]. It is a clinical lead for cystic fibrosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) [2], having demonstrated clinical proofs of concept in both conditions. In patients with CF it induced significant clinical benefit in those with Class III and IV CFTR mutations. Class III and IV mutations are those which impair gating or conductance of the channel respectively [3]. The potentiator ivacaftor is aleady approved to restore function in channels with class III mutations, but at the time of writing (May 2021) there was no approved potentiator for class IV mutant channels.
