Lonafarnib, sold under the brand name Zokinvy, is a medication used to reduce the risk of death due to Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome and for the treatment of certain processing-deficient progeroid laminopathies in people one year of age and older. It is under trial for its use as combination treatment for Hepatitis D Virus.

The most common side effects included nausea, vomiting, headache, diarrhea, infection, decreased appetite and fatigue.

Lonafarnib was approved for medical use in the United States in November 2020, and in the European Union in July 2022. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers it to be a first-in-class medication.
