Flexyx drugs: Aldurazyme (Biomarin Pharmaceuticals)

Aldurazyme (Biomarin Pharmaceuticals) - General Information:

Human recombinant alpha-L-iduronidase, 628 residues (mature form), produced by recombinant DNAtechnology in a Chinese hamster ovary cell line. Aldurazyme (Biomarin Pharmaceuticals) is a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of approximately 83 kD. The predicted amino acid sequence of the recombinant form, as well as the nucleotide sequence that encodes it, are identical to a polymorphic form of human a-L-iduronidase. It contains 6 N-linked oligosaccharide modification sites.

Pharmacology:

Aldurazyme (Biomarin Pharmaceuticals) is used to treat mucopolysaccharide storage disorders (specifically mucopolysaccharidosis 1 or Hurlers syndrome) caused by deficiencies of alpha-L-iduronidase. Reduced or absent a-L-iduronidase activity results in the accumulation of the GAG substrates, dermatan sulfate and heparan sulfate, throughout the body and leads to widespread cellular, tissue, and organ dysfunction.
