Pharmaceutical compound
Rilonacept , sold under the brand name Arcalyst , is a medication used to treat cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes , including familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome , and Muckle–Wells syndrome ; deficiency of interleukin-1 receptor antagonist ; and recurrent pericarditis .[ 1] [ 2] [ 3] Rilonacept is an interleukin 1 inhibitor.[ 4]
Rilonacept is a dimeric fusion protein consisting of the ligand-binding domains of the extracellular portions of the human interleukin-1 receptor component (IL-1R1) and IL-1 receptor accessory protein (IL-1RAcP) linked in-line to the fragment-crystallizable portion (Fc region ) of human IgG1 that binds and neutralizes IL-1 .[ 5]
Rilonacept was given an orphan drug designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is used for the treatment of cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS), including familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome , Muckle–Wells syndrome .[ 3] [ 6] Rilonacept is the first drug approved by the FDA to treat recurrent pericarditis.[ 3] Rilonacept was approved for medical use in the United States in February 2008.[ 7]
On May 8, 2012, an FDA Advisory Panel voted 11–0 against the approval of rilonacept for the treatment of gout , stating that the benefits did not outweigh the risks associated with the drug.[ 8]
