Drug Overview
Repatha (evolocumab; Amgen/Astellas) is a fully human monoclonal immunoglobulin G2 antibody that inhibits PCSK9. PCSK9 is a protease involved in the intracellular and extracellular regulation of low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) expression. It binds to the LDLR and targets it for lysosomal degradation within the hepatocytes. PCSK9 is also known to increase the production of apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins. Repatha prevents circulating PCSK9 from binding to the epidermal growth factor-like repeat A domain, its target on the LDLR. This consequently inhibits LDLR degradation, allowing the LDLRs to be recycled to the cell surface, thereby increasing plasma clearance of LDL-C.
