antineoplastic, AMG 193, QAT649EJ5E, PRMT5-IN-27,

Anvumetostat (also known as AMG 193) is an orally available, small-molecule inhibitor of protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5), primarily being developed for the treatment of advanced solid tumours with MTAP-null (methylthioadenosine phosphorylase-deficient) mutations. 

Mechanism of Action

• Targeting PRMT5: It is a potent and selective MTA-cooperative inhibitor of PRMT5.
• Synthetic Lethality: In cells where the MTAP gene is deleted (a common occurrence in various cancers), a metabolite called MTA (methylthioadenosine) accumulates. Anvumetostat selectively binds to the PRMT5-MTA complex, inhibiting its methyltransferase activity.
• Cellular Impact: By blocking PRMT5, the drug reduces the methylation of arginine residues in histones (H2A, H3, and H4), which can lead to decreased growth or death of cancer cells. 

Clinical Development

Anvumetostat was initially developed by Amgen, Inc. and is currently in clinical trials. Institute (.gov) +1

• Current Status: As of early 2026, it is in Phase 2 of global research and development.
• Study Focus: Trials are evaluating its efficacy both as a monotherapy and in combination with other treatments for adult patients with metastatic or locally advanced MTAP-null cancers. 

Key Identifiers

• Alternate Names: AMG 193, AMG-193.
• Chemical Class: Orally bioavailable small molecule.
• Genetic Biomarker: Specifically targets cancers with MTAP-null status

Anvumetostat is an orally available small molecule inhibitor of protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5), with potential antiproliferative and antineoplastic activities. Upon oral administration, anvumetostat selectively binds to PRMT5 and inhibits its function. By inhibiting its methyltransferase activity, levels of both monomethylated and dimethylated arginine residues in histones H2A, H3 and H4 are decreased. This modulates the expression of genes involved in several cellular processes, including cellular proliferation. This may increase the expression of antiproliferative genes and/or decrease the expression of genes that promote cell proliferation, which may lead to decreased growth of rapidly proliferating cells, including cancer cells. PRMT5, a type II methyltransferase that catalyzes the formation of both omega-N monomethylarginine (MMA) and symmetric dimethylarginine (sDMA) on histones and a variety of other protein substrates involved in signal transduction and cellular transcription, is overexpressed in several neoplasms. Elevated levels are associated with decreased patient survival. Methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP) is deleted in certain cancer cells leading to an accumulation of methylthioadenosine (MTA). As MTA inhibits PRMT5, MTAP-null cancer cells are specifically sensitive to PRMT5 inhibitors.
