Mechanism of action
- Complement C5ANTAGONIST
C5 antagonist
- Complement C5INHIBITOR
Complement C5 inhibitor
Prevents cleavage of complement protein C5 into the C5a proinflammatory anaphylatoxin and the C5b subunit of the terminal complement complex C5b-9 ultimately preventing hemolysis.
High affinity for the complement protein C5.
