Compound class:
Peptide
Comment: Eflapegrastim (SPI-2012) is a long-acting, human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) recombinant peptide. Structurally it consists of a recombinant G-CSF (1-174) peptide monomer and an IgG4 Fc dimer, that are joined by a PEG-derived linker molecule. G-CSF stimulates neutrophil progenitor proliferation and differentiation, a molecular mechanism that is exploited to reduce the incidence and severity of chemotherapy-induced neutropenia. The Fc fragment increases the drug's half-life (reduces clearance) and overall efficacy by improving uptake into the bone marrow via binding to Fc receptors on the endothelial cells [1].
