Compound class: Antibody
Comment: Galegenimab is the INN that has been assigned to Genentech's anti-HTRA1 (HtrA serine peptidase 1) Fab antibody [6]. The antibody and its use are claimed in patent WO2017075212A1 [3]. HTRA1 is a serine protease whose substrates include transforming growth factor β [1,5], fibronectin, amyloid precursor protein [2] and Dickkop-related protein 3 (DKK3) [4]. Genetic polymorphisms in the HTRA1 gene are associated with an increased risk of developing neovascular age-related macular degeneration (and geographic atrophy) and with disease progression. Thus inhibition of HTRA1 proteolytic activity is being investigated for this ocular indication.
