Claziprotamide is an investigational new drug that is being evaluated for the treatment of rare metabolic disorders such as pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration (PKAN) and neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA). It acts as a positive allosteric modulator (PAM) of pantothenate kinases 1 and 3 (PANK1 and PANK2) which are critical for coenzyme A biosynthesis and cellular metabolism.
