Adequacy of nitisinone for the management of alkaptonuria

open access: yesAnnals of Medicine and Surgery, 2022
Alkaptonuria is a rare hereditary disease with a defective enzyme that results in increased homogentisic acid levels in the body. Homogentisic acid accumulates in multiple body parts and initializes tissue damage. Clinical manifestations such as pigmentation of the skin areas and joint destruction result in ochronosis.

Nitisinone causes acquired tyrosinosis in alkaptonuria [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, 2020
AbstractFor over two decades, nitisinone (NTBC) has been successfully used to manipulate the tyrosine degradation pathway and save the lives of many children with hereditary tyrosinaemia type 1. More recently, NTBC has been used to halt homogentisic acid accumulation in alkaptonuria (AKU) with evidence suggesting its efficacy as a disease modifying ...

The Role of Nitisinone in Tyrosine Pathway Disorders

Current Rheumatology Reports, 2014
Nitisinone 2-(2-nitro-4-trifluoromethylbenzoyl)cyclohexane-1,3-dione (NTBC), an effective herbicide, is the licensed treatment for the human condition, hereditary tyrosinaemia type 1 (HT-1). Its mode of action interrupts tyrosine metabolism through inhibition of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD).
