Tác dụng
Description:
Mechanism of Action: Mepolizumab is a humanised monoclonal antibody (IgG1 kappa) that selectively binds to human interleukin-5 (IL-5) and inhibits its binding to the α chain of the IL-5 receptor complex expressed on the surface of eosinophils. This action results in reduced production and survival of eosinophils and decreased eosinophil-mediated inflammation.
Pharmacokinetics:
Absorption: Bioavailability: 74-80%. Time to peak plasma concentration: 4-8 days.
Distribution: Volume of distribution: Approx 3.6 L.
Metabolism: Degraded by proteolytic enzymes that are widely distributed in the body and not limited to hepatic tissue.
Excretion: Terminal elimination half-life: 16-22 days.
Bảo quản
