Description
ORLADEYO (berotralstat) capsules is a plasma kallikrein inhibitor. Berotralstat is presented as the dihydrochloride salt with the chemical name 1-[3-(aminomethyl)phenyl]-N-(5-{(R)-(3-cyanophenyl)[(cyclopropylmethyl)amino]methyl}-2-fluorophenyl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxamide dihydrochloride. The chemical structure is:
Berotralstat dihydrochloride is a white to off-white powder that is soluble in water at pH ≤4. The molecular formula is C30H26F4N6O ∙ 2HCl and the molecular weight is 635.49 (dihydrochloride).
ORLADEYO is supplied as 150 mg (equivalent to 169.4 mg berotralstat dihydrochloride) and 110 mg (equivalent to 124.3 mg berotralstat dihydrochloride) hard gelatin capsules for oral administration. Each capsule contains the active ingredient berotralstat dihydrochloride and the inactive ingredients colloidal silicon dioxide, crospovidone, magnesium stearate, and pregelatinized starch.
Mechanism of Action
Berotralstat is a plasma kallikrein inhibitor that binds to plasma kallikrein and inhibits its proteolytic activity. Plasma kallikrein is a protease that cleaves high-molecular-weight-kininogen (HMWK) to generate cleaved HMWK (cHMWK) and bradykinin, a potent vasodilator that increases vascular permeability resulting in swelling and pain associated with HAE. In patients with HAE due to C1-inhibitor (C1-INH) deficiency or dysfunction, normal regulation of plasma kallikrein activity is not present, which leads to uncontrolled increases in plasma kallikrein activity and results in angioedema attacks.
