Cerliponase alfa

Identification

Summary

Cerliponase alfa is an enzyme replacement therapy used to treat neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 2 (CLN2) disease, also known as tripeptidyl peptidase 1 (TPP1) deficiency.

Background

Cerliponase alfa is an enzyme replacement treatment for a specific form of Batten disease. It was the first FDA-approved treatment to slow loss of walking ability (ambulation) in symptomatic pediatric patients 3 years of age and older with late infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 2 (CLN2), also known as tripeptidyl peptidase-1 (TPP1) deficiency. Intraventricular administration of the drug allows significant uptake into the brain. Cerliponase alfa was approved in April, 2017 (as Brineura).

Pharmacology

Indication

Cerliponase alfa is a treatment for late infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 2 (CLN2) disease to decelerate the progressive motor function decline in patients 3 years of age and older. CLN2 disease is a form of Batten disease, a rare inherited neurodegenerative disorder and is associated with seizures, ataxia, rapid loss of language and motor functions, blindness, and early death 4. It is caused by the lack the lysosomal enzyme tripeptidyl peptidase-1 (TPP1) and subsequent accumulation of lysosomal storage materials normally metabolized by this enzyme in the central nervous system.

Pharmacodynamics

Cerliponase alfa contains the active substance tripeptidyl peptidase-1 (rhTPP1), a recombinant human lysosomal exopeptidase which cleaves the N-terminal of tripeptides with a broad substrate specificity. Cerliponase alfa slows the progressive decline in motor function caused by abnormal motor signalling in the brain by restoring the normal levels and activity of TPP1.

Mechanism of action

The mature form of enzyme contains 5 consensus N-glycosylation sites with high mannose, phosphorylated high mannose and complex glycosylation structures. It is taken up by LINCL fibroblasts and translocated to the lysosomes through the Cation Independent Mannose-6-Phosphate Receptor (CI-MPR, also known as M6P/IGF2 receptor). Cerliponase alfa is activated in the lysosome under low pH conditions and the activated proteolytic form of rhTPP1 cleaves tripeptides from the N-terminus of stored proteins.
