vosoritide is an approved drug (EMA & FDA (2021))
Compound class:
Peptide
Comment: Vosoritide is a cyclic analogue of C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) that has a longer half-life (duration of action) than the endogenous peptide [1]. It comprises the 37 C-terminal amino acids from human CNP with the addition of proline and glycine (PG) at its N-terminal.
Vosoritide represents a novel mechanism which has the potential to treat mutant fibroblast growth factor receptor 3-driven achondroplasia, by stimulating endochondral ossification and thereby ameliorating impaired bone growth [1-3]. |
