Oral delivery of anti-MDM2 inhibitor SP141-loaded FcRn-targeted nanoparticles to treat breast cancer and metastasis [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Controlled Release, 2016
We have recently discovered a specific Murine Double Minute 2 (MDM2) oncogene inhibitor, called SP141, which exerts potent anticancer activity in various breast cancer models. However, its low oral bioavailability is the major hurdle for moving this drug to clinical trial.

Early deterioration of CIDP following transition from IVIG to FcRn inhibitor treatment

Journal of the Neurological Sciences
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is an immune mediated demyelinating neuropathy that can lead to secondary axonal degeneration and irreversible weakness and disability. Early effective treatment is therefore necessary to minimize the degree of axonal degeneration.

Pharmacokinetic Effects of 4C9, An Anti-FcRn Antibody, in Rats: Implications for the Use of FcRn Inhibitors for the Treatment of Humoral Autoimmune and Alloimmune Conditions

Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2005
FcRn protects immune gamma globulin (IgG) from intracellular catabolism, and thereby contributes to the long plasma half-life associated with this class of antibody. The present study tested the hypothesis that 4C9, an anti-FcRn antibody, would increase the in vivo systemic clearance of a model antibody, anti-methotrexate IgG (AMI), in rats. Hybridomas

X-ray Crystal Structures of Monomeric and Dimeric Peptide Inhibitors in Complex with the Human Neonatal Fc Receptor, FcRn [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2010
The neonatal Fc receptor, FcRn, is responsible for the long half-life of IgG molecules in vivo and is a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. A family of peptides comprising the consensus motif GHFGGXY, where X is preferably a hydrophobic amino acid, was shown previously to inhibit the human IgG:human FcRn protein ...

FcRn Inhibitor Therapies in Neurologic Diseases

CNS Drugs
In the last decade, the landscape of treating autoimmune diseases has evolved with the emergence and approval of novel targeted therapies. Several new biological agents offer selective and target-specific immunotherapy and therefore fewer side effects, such as neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn)-targeting therapy.

Efgartigimod as a novel FcRn inhibitor for autoimmune disease

Neurological Sciences
Immunoglobulin G (IgG) autoantibodies can lead to the formation of autoimmune diseases through Fab and/or Fc-mediated interactions with host molecules as well as activated T cells. The neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) binds at acidic pH IgG and albumin, and the mechanism for prolonging serum IgG half-life is making IgG re-entry into circulation by prompting

FcRn inhibitors: A new era in neurotherapeutics

The neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) is a heterodimeric protein that binds albumin and immunoglobulin G (IgG) to mediate pH-dependent recycling, prevent degradation, and maintain their serum concentrations. The ability to bind IgG means FcRn plays both beneficial and potentially detrimental roles in host immunity.

FcRn inhibitors in immune thrombocytopenia: A comprehensive review of therapeutic advances and clinical outcomes

Cytokine
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by low platelet counts, leading to bleeding risks. Despite existing treatments, many patients with chronic or refractory ITP remain inadequately managed. Fc-receptors, including neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn), play a crucial role in the ITP pathogenesis by activating antibody-dependent ...

FcRn inhibitors: Transformative advances and significant impacts on IgG-mediated autoimmune diseases

Autoimmunity Reviews
Pathogenic IgG autoantibodies play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases, and removal of pathogenic IgG autoantibodies is an important therapeutic approach and tool for such diseases. The neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) interacts with IgG and protects it from lysosomal degradation.

The efficacy and safety of FcRn inhibitors in patients with myasthenia gravis: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Journal of Neurology
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease that causes local or generalized muscle weakness. Complement inhibitors and targeting of the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) to block IgG cycling are two novel and successful mechanisms.PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov were systematically searched to identify relevant studies ...
