Approved drug Immunopharmacology Ligand
penpulimab is an approved drug (China (2021))
Compound class: Antibody
Comment: Penpulimab (AK-105) is a chimeric IgG1κ programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) monoclonal antibody [2]. Its engineered Fc structure means that it does not interact with Fcγ receptors and therefore it does not induce immune cell (macrophage) effector functions (antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity/ADCC, antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis/ADCP, antibody-dependent cytokine release/ADCR). Penpulimab binds to an epitope in human PD-1's N-glycosylation site (at residue N58).
