Active Ingredient Description
Palopegteriparatide

Palopegteriparatide is a prodrug, consisting of PTH conjugated to a methoxypolyethylene glycol carrier (mPEG) via a proprietary TransCon Linker. PTH and its main metabolite, PTH, have similar affinity to and activation of PTH1R as endogenous PTH. At physiological conditions, PTH is cleaved from palopegteriparatide in a controlled manner to provide a continuous systemic exposure of active PTH.
