Ziftomenib (CAS 2284755-24-6; NIOSH HD Category 1) is the first menin (MEN1/KMT2A) protein-protein interaction inhibitor specifically approved for relapsed/refractory NPM1-mutant (NPM1c) acute myeloid leukemia ever FDA approved, establishing the 156th mechanism class in the Glyphward adversarial portfolio. Developed by Kura Oncology Inc (San Diego CA; KO-539; NDA 218765 December 20 2024 Accelerated Approval) with commercialization partner Kyowa Kirin Company Ltd (Tokyo Japan), ziftomenib employs a benzimidazole scaffold to mimic the KMT2A WIN motif (RWRFP) in occupying the menin hydrophobic pocket (KD ~1.6 nM) — blocking menin-KMT2A interaction — specifically in NPM1c AML where aberrant HOXA9/MEIS1 upregulation drives leukemic self-renewal. KOMET-001 (Phase 1/2; NPM1-mutant cohort; n=30 at 200 mg QD): ORR 35%, CR/CRh 15%, 30-day mortality 2%. No OEL exists for ziftomenib in any EHS framework; no platform references menin WIN-site inhibition, NPM1c HOXA9/MEIS1 dependence, or KOMET-001 for this 156th mechanism class.

Menin-KMT2A biology and NPM1-mutant AML context: MEN1 (menin; chromosome 11q13.1; 615-AA; nuclear scaffold/adaptor protein; no intrinsic enzymatic activity) forms obligate scaffold within KMT2A (MLL1; KMT2A; chromosome 11q23.3; H3K4 mono/di/trimethyltransferase via SET domain) complexes → menin-KMT2A bridges LEDGF (lens epithelium-derived growth factor; H3K36me2 reader) to target chromatin → H3K4me3 at HOXA/HOXA9/MEIS1 loci → transcriptional activation. KMT2A N-terminal WIN motif (Trp144-Arg145-Trp146-Arg147-Phe148-Pro149; RWRFP) inserts into menin hydrophobic pocket (Met320-Arg322-His363-Val388 menin residues line pocket) → menin-KMT2A interaction KD ~1 nM → ziftomenib benzimidazole peptidomimetic competes with WIN motif → KD ~1.6 nM → blocks HOXA9/MEIS1 locus accessibility. NPM1c-AML specificity: NPM1 exon 12 insertion (Type A/B/D) disrupts C-terminal nuclear export signal (NES) → reversal of normal nuclear localization → cytoplasmic accumulation of NPM1 protein → loss of nuclear NPM1 (nucleolar chaperone function) + gain of aberrant cytoplasmic oncogenic signaling; NPM1c directly engages menin-KMT2A histone methyltransferase complex at HOXA loci via mechanism analogous to KMT2A fusion proteins → both NPM1c and KMT2A fusions create menin-KMT2A HOXA dependence (convergent oncogenic epigenetic pathway). Revumenib vs ziftomenib: revumenib (NDA 217981; approved 2023/2024; KMT2A-rearranged) targets KMT2A-rearranged AML or ALL; ziftomenib specifically approved for NPM1c AML as a molecularly distinct indication with distinct trial (KOMET-001 vs AUGMENT-101). KOMET-001 (NCT04067336; Phase 1/2; NPM1c AML cohort; 200 mg QD oral; ORR 35%; CR/CRh 15%; 30-day mortality 2%; Grade 3+ QTc prolongation 7%; Grade 3+ febrile neutropenia 23%; median time to response 1.9 months; 30-day early mortality 2% vs historical 10-20% for 3L+ AML). No EHS platform recognizes ziftomenib CAS 2284755-24-6, menin WIN motif inhibitor, NPM1c HOXA dependence, or KOMET-001 for this 156th mechanism class.

Menin WIN Motif Inhibition + NPM1c HOXA9/MEIS1 Epigenetic Dependency + KOMET-001

Ziftomenib (KO-539; MW ~572.6 g/mol; CAS 2284755-24-6; oral 200 mg QD capsule; Cmax ~1.4 µM; t½ ~12 h) is a benzimidazole-based WIN motif competitive peptidomimetic inhibitor. Crystal structure (PDB): ziftomenib occupies menin hydrophobic pocket at Trp144/Phe148 binding region (WIN-I site; Arg322/Phe238/Val392 contact residues; hydrogen bonds to Tyr319 amide NH); benzimidazole N1-H donates H-bond to Tyr319 carbonyl (critical interaction conserved across all menin WIN-site inhibitors including revumenib). CYP3A4 substrate (oral bioavailability ~40%; food effect: high-fat meal reduces Cmax 15%); no CYP inhibition at clinical concentrations; not P-gp substrate. NPM1c molecular epidemiology: ~30% of de novo AML harbor NPM1 mutations (most common AML mutation; 2022 WHO AML classification: NPM1 defines a distinct AML entity); 85% of NPM1c AML co-occurring with FLT3-ITD (poor prognosis) → ziftomenib + FLT3 inhibitor combination explored (KOMET-002 ongoing). Resistance mechanisms: HOXA13 upregulation (truncated HOXA13 → compensatory HOX program); WIN motif mutation (Y323C menin mutation; prevents ziftomenib binding → partial resistance); FLT3 acquired mutations (D835Y, TKD); acquisition of KMT2A-rearrangement (clonal evolution). No EHS platform recognizes ziftomenib CAS 2284755-24-6, menin WIN motif competitive inhibitor, NPM1c HOXA9/MEIS1 epigenetic dependency, or KOMET-001 for this 156th mechanism class.
