FOR PHARMA, BIOTECH, CRO & TRANSLATIONAL TEAMS

Solutions for cardiac drug programs

FilamenTech applies MUSICO to help teams translate molecular, tissue, animal, and mutation data into human-relevant cardiac predictions for better program decisions.

Cardiac mechanism specialists - not a general-purpose in silico platform.

MUSICO is designed for programs where molecular, sarcomere, tissue, or animal data must be translated into human cardiac functional response. We focus first on cardiac and muscle programs where mechanistic interpretation matters.

Therapeutic development

Earlier translational insight for cardiac drug programs

Cardiac drug programs often need to decide which mechanisms, compounds, or experimental signals are most likely to translate into human benefit or risk. MUSICO helps teams connect early experimental findings to human-relevant cardiac predictions before the next high-cost study.

Applications include

  • Compound ranking and prioritization
  • Mechanism-of-action interpretation
  • Small molecule modulator evaluation
  • HCM and DCM therapeutic programs
  • Go/no-go and next-study decision support

Areas of Focus

  • Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
  • Dilated cardiomyopathy
  • Restrictive cardiomyopathies
  • Sarcomeric protein dysfunction
  • Calcium-handling disorders

Species-to-human translation

From preclinical data to human cardiac prediction

Your experimental data may come from mouse, rat, porcine tissue, hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes, engineered heart tissues, trabeculae, or other cardiac preparations. MUSICO helps translate those findings into human-relevant cardiac response predictions using mechanistic, physics-based models.

Integrated Data Sources

  • ATPase / kinetic assays
  • Force-pCa measurements
  • Twitch, trabeculae, EHT, or tissue data
  • Animal model data
  • hiPSC-CM / human-derived cardiac data
  • X-ray or structural measurements where available

Predictive Outputs

  • Human cardiac response prediction
  • Species translation summary
  • Sensitivity and uncertainty analysis
  • Translational decision support
  • Next-study recommendations

MUTATION-DRIVEN CARDIOMYOPATHIES

Mutation-specific modeling of cardiac dysfunction

Inherited cardiomyopathies are not one mechanism. Different variants can affect calcium sensitivity, force generation, relaxation, sarcomere kinetics, and tissue-level function in different ways. MUSICO helps connect mutation-level changes to cardiac functional consequences and therapeutic response hypotheses.

Applications Include

  • Genotype-to-phenotype analysis
  • Variant-specific disease modeling
  • Therapeutic response prediction
  • Patient-stratification research
  • Mechanistic interpretation of cardiac dysfunction

Mechanism decomposition

Understand why a therapy changes cardiac function

A drug or mutation can change cardiac behavior through several interacting mechanisms. MUSICO helps separate these effects and identify which molecular or tissue-level mechanisms are most likely driving the observed functional response.

Core Capabilities

  • Myosin-state interpretation
  • Crossbridge kinetics
  • Calcium sensitivity and calcium transients
  • Thin and thick filament regulation
  • Force generation and relaxation
  • Tissue and ventricular functional effects

Why Mechanistic Modeling Matters

Mechanistic simulations can provide insight into:

  • Explain observed experimental effects
  • Separate overlapping mechanisms
  • Support compound ranking
  • Guide the next experiment
  • Improve translational confidence

Built first for cardiac muscle. Expandable by design.

Current Focus

  • Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM)
  • Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM)
  • Restrictive cardiomyopathies
  • Sarcomeric protein dysfunction
  • Calcium-handling disorders

Expanding Areas

  • Heart failure
  • Skeletal muscle disease
  • Rare genetic myopathies
  • Cardiac safety modeling
  • Smooth muscle applications
