Background

Egaptivon pegol, formerly known as ARC1779, is a therapeutic aptamer antagonist of the A1 domain of von Willebrand Factor (vWF), the ligand for receptor glycoprotein 1b on platelets. Egaptivon pegol is being investigated for the treatment of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura and acute coronary syndromes.1,2 Egaptivon pegol is a therapeutic oligonucleotide ("aptamer") which blocks the binding of the A1 domain of vWF to the platelet GPIb receptor, thereby modulating platelet adhesion, activation, and aggregation under the high shear conditions of coronary arterial stenosis and plaque rupture.1

Mechanism of action

ARC1779 can inhibit vWF activation and platelet function, which are both widely recognized as playing critical roles in clot formation which can critically impede blood flow to the heart.

Protein binding

ARC1779 was shown to bind specifically to activated vWF. Activated vWF is scientifically recognized as the first stage of arterial thrombus formation and plays a significant role in the development of harmful blood clots.

General Function
Important in the maintenance of hemostasis, it promotes adhesion of platelets to the sites of vascular injury by forming a molecular bridge between sub-endothelial collagen matrix and platelet-surface receptor complex GPIb-IX-V. Also acts as a chaperone for coagulation factor VIII, delivering it to the site of injury, stabilizing its heterodimeric structure and protecting it from premature clearance from plasma
