Givosiran sodium
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Givosiran (ALN-AS1) sodium is a small interfering RNA that targets hepatic aminolevulinate synthase 1 (ALAS1) messenger RNA. Givosiran sodium downregulates ALAS1 mRNA and prevents accumulation of neurotoxic δ-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) and porphobilinogen (PBG) levels. Givosiran sodium demonstrates potent inhibitory activity against ALAS1 in mouse, rat, and cynomolgus monkey models. Givosiran sodium can be used for the research of acute hepatic porphyria (AHP).

Biological Activity
Givosiran sodium (3 mg/kg, s.c., twice weekly for 3 weeks) exhibits complete preventive effect in the rat acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) model[2].
Givosiran sodium (20 mg/kg, s.c., single dose) works faster and has stronger inhibition than standard Hemoglobin (HY-P2995) treatment in mice[2].
Givosiran sodium (1-10 mg/kg, s.c., single dose or once daily for 8 weeks) reduces serum and urinary ALAS1 levels in cynomolgus monkey, and repeated administration results in sustained inhibition that is reversible after drug discontinuation[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
