Description

Biochem/physiol Actions

Glatiramer acetate, a myelin basic protein mimetic, is an immunomodulator used for treatment of Multiple Sclerosis. Glatiramer acetate is a mixture of synthetic peptides randomly composed of glutamic acid, lysine, alanine, and tyrosine. It reduces relapse rate and disease progression in Multiple Sclerosis. Its mechanism of action is not fully understood. Glatiramer acetate generates anti-inflammatory Th2 cells, which produce neurotrophic factors.
