Nitisinone is indicated for the treatment of tyrosinemia, an error of metabolism, usually inborn, in which the body cannot effectively break down the amino acid tyrosine. Nitisinone prevents accumulation of maleylacetoacetate and fumarylacetoacetate in patients with hereditary tyrosinemia type 1 by inhibiting 4-hydroxyphenyl-pyruvate dioxygenase, which is an enzyme in the tyrosine catabolic pathway. Maleylacetoacetate and fumarylacetoacetate are catabolic intermediates that are converted to liver- and kidney-toxic metabolites, succinylacetone and succinylacetoacetate. Succinylacetone also plays a role in causing porphyric crises via inhibition of the porphyrin synthesis pathway.
