evinacumab is an approved drug (EMA & FDA (2021))
Compound class:
Antibody
Comment: Evinacumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody targeting angiopoietin-like 3 (ANGPTL3). Due to its role in lipid metabolism, ANGPTL3 is being investigated as a potential molecular target for the treatment of hypertriglyceridemia.
Peptide sequence and structural information for this antibody are available from its IMGT/mAb-db record. A BLAST search of patented peptide sequences reveals that the heavy chain variable domain of evinacumab is identical to SEQ ID: NO 66 from patent US9018356 B2 [3], and the light chain variable region is identical to SEQ ID: NO 74 from the same patent (this heavy/light chain combination corresponds to antibody identifier H4H1276S). Evinacumab utilises a different molecular mechanism compared to Regeneron's already approved anti-hyperlipidemic drug alirocumab (targets proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9). |
| Bioactivity Comments |
| The affinity value in the table below represents antibody binding to full length human ANGPTL3. The corresponding Kd value for binding to the N-terminal coiled-coil domain of ANGPTL3 is reported as 0.66nM [3]. |
