| DrugBank MoA: | MRx-4DP0004 is an immunomodulatory therapy with anti-viral activity that simultaneously downregulates molecules associated with hyper-inflammatory responses. It reduces neutrophilic and eosinophilic infiltration in the lungs, in addition to a reduction in peribronchiolar and perivascular immunopathology without the side effects associated with immunosuppressants. A study of MRx-4DP0004 also demonstrated specifics of the biotherapeutic increasing lung D4+CD44+ cells and CD4+FoxP3+ cells, decreasing activated CD11b+ dendritic cells, and reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines involved in neutrophil migration. MRx-4DP0004 is currently being investigated for severe asthma management, however, the specific mechanism of action is currently unknown. |
