Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects ![]() |
Mipomersen is a cholesterol-reducing antisense therapeutic. It targets the messenger RNA for apolipoprotein B. Mipomersen binds to the mRNA of one of apolipoprotein B's isoforms, Apo B-100 (Uniprot P04114). The resulting double-stranded RNA is degraded by RNase H, preventing translation of the mRNA and formation of the apo B-100 protein. Mipomersen binds at nucleotide positions 3249-3268 relative to the published sequence provided in GenBank accession number NM_000384. |
