The long-term effect of inclisiran on cardiovascular outcomes has not yet been elucidated,3 although reductions in the levels of LDL-C have been associated with a reduction of cardiovascular risk.1 Mechanism of action Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors expressed on hepatocytes are responsible ...

Background/Synopsis Inclisiran (Leqvio) is a small interfering RNA agent (siRNA) against the PCSK9 enzyme and is the first lipid lowering medication with this unique mechanism of action. While approved in December 2021, inclisiran was not widely available until the spring of 2022. The ...
Small Nucleic Acid Drugs: A Battleground in the Pharmaceutical IndustrySmall nucleic acid drugs, also known as oligonucleotide drugs, generally refer to nucleotide sequences of up to 30 base pairs. Their mechanism of action involves specific nucleotide sequences targeting mRNA to silence gene ...
Mechanism Of Action Inclisiran is a double-stranded small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA), conjugated on the sense strand with triantennary N-Acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) to facilitate uptake by hepatocytes. In hepatocytes, inclisiran utilizes the RNA interference mechanism and directs catalytic ...
As its mechanism of action, inclisiran targets a key protein in the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) metabolic pathway called proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9). Typically, upon binding by LDL-C, the bound receptor is internalized. The LDL particle is transferred ...

Their primary mechanism of action is based on the capturing of the circulating fraction of this protein, which blocks binding to the epidermal growth factor A domain on the LDL receptor described previously. Administration of these drugs leads to a substantial reduction in plasma LDL-C in healthy...
heterozygousFH(HeFH) or clinicalASCVDwho require additional lowering of LDL-cholesterol. Having a different mechanism of action from the monoclonal PCSK9 Inhibitors, inclisiran is administered subcutaneously via a single prefilled syringe with dosing of 284mg at baseline, 3 months, then every 6 ...
