| Dornase alfa |
Recombinant human DNase is a genetically engineered version of a naturally occurring human enzyme which cleaves extracellular DNA. In vitro, dornase alfa hydrolyses DNA in sputum and greatly reduces the viscoelasticity of cystic fibrosis sputum. |
|
| Ivacaftor |
Ivacaftor is a potentiator of the CFTR protein, i.e., in vitro ivacaftor increases CFTR channel gating to enhance chloride transport in specified gating mutations with reduced channel-open probability compared to normal CFTR. Ivacaftor also potentiated the channel-open probability of R117H-CFTR, which has both low channel-open probability (gating) and reduced channel current amplitude (conductance). |
|
| Mannitol |
Mannitol is a naturally occurring sugar alcohol used clinically primarily for its osmotic diuretic properties. |
