The European LEMS Registry: Baseline Demographics and Treatment Approaches.

Neurology and therapy

Mantegazza R, Meisel A, Sieb JP, Le Masson G, Desnuelle C, Essing M.
PMID: 26525537
Neurol Ther. 2015 Dec;4(2):105-24. doi: 10.1007/s40120-015-0034-0. Epub 2015 Nov 02.

INTRODUCTION: Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) is a rare autoimmune disorder affecting the neuromuscular junction, clinically characterized by proximal muscle weakness and autonomic changes. LEMS is often associated with an underlying tumor (paraneoplastic form) but also occurs in the absence...

Recent Advances and Therapeutic Options in Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome.

Cureus

Anwar A, Saleem S, Ahmed MF, Ashraf S, Ashraf S.

Cureus. 2019 Aug 21;11(8):e5450. doi: 10.7759/cureus.5450.

Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome (LEMS) is an autoimmune-mediated neurological disorder that manifests as muscle fatigue, diminished tendon reflexes, with symptoms of cholinergic overactivity. It can be associated with certain neoplastic conditions, the most common being small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC)....

Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome revealed after surgery of lung adenocarcinoma.

Asian cardiovascular & thoracic annals

We report a very rare case of cT1N0M0 lung adenocarcinoma reveling Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS). A 69-year-old nonsmoking woman, with several comorbidities consulted for cough and dyspnea. Chest radiograph and CT scanning detected a left lower lobe mass; Needle...

Genetic variation in aryl N-acetyltransferase results in significant differences in the pharmacokinetic and safety profiles of amifampridine (3,4-diaminopyridine) phosphate.

Pharmacology research & perspectives

Haroldsen PE, Garovoy MR, Musson DG, Zhou H, Tsuruda L, Hanson B, O'Neill CA.
PMID: 25692017
Pharmacol Res Perspect. 2015 Feb;3(1):e00099. doi: 10.1002/prp2.99. Epub 2014 Dec 09.

The clinical use of amifampridine phosphate for neuromuscular junction disorders is increasing. The metabolism of amifampridine occurs via polymorphic aryl N-acetyltransferase (NAT), yet its pharmacokinetic (PK) and safety profiles, as influenced by this enzyme system, have not been investigated....

Update on treatment options for Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome: focus on use of amifampridine.

Neuropsychiatric disease and treatment

Lindquist S, Stangel M.

Neuropsychiatr Dis Treat. 2011;7:341-9. doi: 10.2147/NDT.S10464. Epub 2011 May 30.

In Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS), antibodies against presynaptic voltage-gated calcium channels reduce the quantal release of acetylcholine, causing muscle weakness and autonomic dysfunction. More than half of the affected patients have associated small cell lung cancer, and thorough screening...

Amifampridine phosphate in the treatment of muscle-specific kinase myasthenia gravis: a phase IIb, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, double crossover study.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to determine the safety and the efficacy of amifampridine phosphate in muscle-specific kinase antibody-positive myasthenia gravis, in a 1:1 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, switchback, double crossover study.METHODS: Eligible patients had muscle-specific kinase myasthenia...

Probing the Strength and Mechanism of Binding Between Amifampridine and Calf Thymus DNA.

DNA and cell biology

Sharifinia S, Hajibabaei F, Salehzadeh S, Hosseinpour Moghadam N, Khazalpour S.
PMID: 33090906
DNA Cell Biol. 2020 Oct 22; doi: 10.1089/dna.2020.5618. Epub 2020 Oct 22.

In this work, we have investigated the strength and mechanism of amifampridine (3,4-Diaminopyridine/3,4-DAP) interaction with calf thymus DNA (ct-DNA). The existence and the strength of interaction are evaluated using circular dichroism (CD), UV-vis absorption, and differential pulse voltammogram studies....

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To give an overview of the recent data on three autoimmune neuromuscular junction disorders with the recent Food Drug Administration (FDA) approval of amifampridine [3,4-Diaminopyridine (3,4-DAP) and 3,4-diaminopyridine phosphate (3,4-DAPP) for the treatment of Lambert-Eaton myasthenic...
