REDEMPLO (plozasiran sodium)
Antihyperlipidemic apolipoprotein synthesis inhibitors, most specifically represented by apolipoprotein B-100 synthesis inhibitors such as mipomersen, are specialized lipid-lowering agents designed to target the production of atherogenic lipoproteins.
These therapies primarily consist of antisense oligonucleotides that bind specifically to messenger RNA encoding apolipoprotein B, prompting enzymatic RNA degradation and thereby suppressing the hepatic synthesis of apolipoprotein B-100.
Because apolipoprotein B is an indispensable structural backbone for the assembly and secretion of very-low-density lipoproteins and low-density lipoproteins, inhibiting its synthesis results in substantial reductions in circulating plasma concentrations of atherogenic lipids, including LDL cholesterol.
Clinically, these agents have been developed and utilized as adjunct therapies to lower lipid concentrations in patients with severe, refractory dyslipidemias, predominantly homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia.
