Cemdisiran is a proprietary formulation composed of small-interfering RNAs (siRNAs) directed against terminal complement component 5 (C5) of the complement pathway conjugated to a N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) ligand, which has potential use in the treatment of complement-mediated diseases, including paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). Upon subcutaneous administration of cemdisiran, the GalNAc ligand moiety specifically binds to and is taken up by the asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR) expressed on hepatocytes. Inside the cell, the siRNAs bind to C5 mRNAs, which results in the inhibition of both the translation and expression of the C5 protein. This lowers plasma C5 levels, prevents C5 cleavage into pro-inflammatory components and blocks complement-mediated hemolysis. C5, a complement pathway protein, is expressed at high levels by the liver. The directory classifies it as a under development API with a oligonucleotide source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Inclisiran, Cemdisiran and terminal sugar modification-. Its PubChem CID is 126480325.
