Oligonucleotide (siRNA) · Gene silencing: aminolevulinate synthase 1 (ALAS1) · developed by Alnylam Pharms
Givosiran is a double-stranded small interfering RNA conjugated to GalNAc, which is taken up by hepatocytes through the asialoglycoprotein receptor. It degrades ALAS1 mRNA through RNA interference, reducing hepatic ALAS1 production and the levels of neurotoxic intermediates ALA and porphobilinogen. It is used in the treatment of acute hepatic porphyria.
