DrugBank MoA: MLN2222 is a proprietary recombinant protein that blocks both the C3 and C5 convertases, which are essential components of the complement activation pathway. Complement activation is believed to contribute to harmful inflammatory responses to heart bypass surgery that can result in significant complications; MLN2222 is being developed to reduce the incidence of death and heart attacks in patients undergoing procedures involving the use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), a heart-lung bypass machine.
Targets: Complement factor B
Inclusion Criteria: Therapeutic strategy associated
