Complement C5 Inhibitors Understanding

Complement C5 Inhibitors: Overview

Complement component C5 is the initiator of the effector terminal phase of the complement system and shares the molecular structure consisting of two chains-α and β, linked by disulfide bonds, with C3 and C4, with the only difference being that complement component C5 does not contain an internal thio-ester bond. The terminal phase is similar for the classical, lectin, and alternative pathways. Complement component 5 is the fifth component of complement, which plays an important role in inflammatory and cell killing processes.

Function - Activation of C5 by a C5 convertase initiates the spontaneous assembly of the late complement components, C5-C9, into the membrane attack complex. C5b has a transient binding site for C6. The C5b-C6 complex is the foundation upon which the lytic complex is assembled. Derived from proteolytic degradation of complement C5, C5 anaphylatoxin is a mediator of local inflammatory process. Binding to the receptor C5AR1 induces a variety of responses including intracellular calcium release, contraction of smooth muscle, increased vascular permeability, and histamine release from mast cells and basophilic leukocytes. C5a is also a potent chemokine which stimulates the locomotion of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and directs their migration toward sites of inflammation.

Complement C5 Inhibitors - The complement inhibitor that has achieved the widest attention as a therapeutic agent is a monoclonal antibody to C5. The advantage to this strategy is that it prevents the generation of C5a, the most potent of the anaphylatoxins, and of the MAC. The generation of C3b and C4b opsonins still would occur, allowing proper clearance of pathogens and immune complexes even if C5 conversion were inhibited chronically. Because there is evidence that activation of early complement components is important for the maintenance of tolerance to self-antigens, inhibition of C5 activation may be less worrisome than inhibition of C3 activation.

Complement C5 Inhibitors Emerging Drugs Chapters

This segment of the Complement C5 Inhibitors report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase III, II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

Complement C5 Inhibitors Emerging Drugs

• Ravulizumab: Alexion Pharmaceuticals

Ravulizumab is the first and only long-acting C5 complement inhibitor. The medication works by inhibiting the C5 protein in the terminal complement cascade, a part of the body’s immune system. When activated in an uncontrolled manner, the complement cascade over-responds, leading the body to attack its own healthy cells. It is approved in the United States (U.S.), European Union (EU) and Japan as a treatment for adults with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). It is also approved in the U.S. and Japan for atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) to inhibit complement-mediated thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) in adult and pediatric (one month of age and older) patients, as well as in the EU for the treatment of adults and children with a body weight of at least 10 kg with aHUS. Currently, in phase 3 stage of development for the treatment of Acute lung injury; Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; and various other disorders.

• Pozelimab: Regeneron Pharmaceuticals

Pozelimab is an investigational, fully-human monoclonal antibody designed to block complement factor C5 and prevent the destruction of red blood cells (hemolysis) that cause the symptoms of PNH and other diseases mediated by complement pathway activity. It is an IgG4 antibody that binds with high affinity to wild-type and variant human C5 and blocks its activity. Currently, in phase 3 stage of development for the treatment of Paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria.
