UNII I5I8VB78VT - ERENUMAB
 

Erenumab is a human monoclonal antibody that binds to the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor. CGRP is a neuropeptide that modulates nociceptive signalling and a vasodilator that has been associated with migraine pathophysiology. Inhibition of the effects of CGRP could theoretically attenuate compensatory vasodilation in ischaemic-related conditions.
