The drug ZILBRYSQ contains one active pharmaceutical ingredient (API):
1
Zilucoplan
UNII YG391PK0CC - ZILUCOPLAN
|
Zilucoplan is a 15 amino acid, synthetic macrocyclic peptide that inhibits the effects of the complement protein C5 through a dual mechanism of action. It specifically binds to C5, thereby inhibiting its cleavage by the C5 convertase to C5a and C5b, which results in a downregulation of the assembly and cytolytic activity of the membrane attack complex (MAC). Additionally, by binding to the C5b moiety of C5, zilucoplan sterically hinders binding of C5b to C6, which prevents the subsequent assembly and activity of the MAC, should any C5b be formed. |
