Tafamidis is a selective transthyretin (TTR) stabilizer that binds to the thyroxine-binding sites of TTR tetramers, preventing their dissociation into monomers and halting the amyloidogenic cascade responsible for transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM). By kinetically stabilizing the native TTR tetramer, it reduces misfolding and fibril deposition in cardiac tissue, slowing progression of cardiomyopathy. It is the first disease-modifying therapy approved for ATTR-CM and demonstrates mortality reduction in clinical trials.
