Evidentic’s analytical service includes a comprehensive array of methods to support the drug development process, including, for example, structure, aggregation, degree of isomerization and N-glycans identification of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API).
Here you will find the product information for the reference product.
| Drug name | Orencia® |
| INN | Abatacept |
| API type | Abatacept is a fusion protein that consists of the extracellular domain of human cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) linked to a modified Fc portion of human immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1). Abatacept is produced by recombinant DNA technology in Chinese hamster ovary cells. |
| Pharmacotherapeutic group | Immunosuppressants, selective immunosuppressants. |
| ATC code | L04AA24 |
| Target of antibody | TNF alpha |
| General function | Abatacept, in combination with methotrexate, is indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in adult patients who responded inadequately to previous therapy with one or more disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) including methotrexate (MTX) or a tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha inhibitor. It is also indicated for the treatment of highly active and progressive disease in adult patients with rheumatoid arthritis not previously treated with methotrexate. |
| Short description | |
| Pharmacodynamic properties (Mechanism of action; Source EMA document) | Abatacept selectively modulates a key costimulatory signal required for full activation of T lymphocytes expressing CD28. Full activation of T lymphocytes requires two signals provided by antigen presenting cells: recognition of a specific antigen by a T cell receptor (signal 1) and a second, costimulatory signal. A major costimulatory pathway involves the binding of CD80 and CD86 molecules on the surface of antigen presenting cells to the CD28 receptor on T lymphocytes (signal 2). Abatacept selectively inhibits this costimulatory pathway by specifically binding to CD80 and CD86. Studies indicate that naive T lymphocyte responses are more affected by abatacept than memory T lymphocyte responses. |
| Pharmacodynamic properties (Pharmacodynamic effects; Source EMA document) | Dose-dependent reductions were observed with abatacept in serum levels of soluble interleukin-2 receptor, a marker of T lymphocyte activation; serum interleukin-6, a product of activated synovial macrophages and fibroblast-like synoviocytes in rheumatoid arthritis; rheumatoid factor, an autoantibody produced by plasma cells; and C-reactive protein, an acute-phase reactant of inflammation. In addition, serum levels of matrix metalloproteinase-3, which produces cartilage destruction and tissue remodelling, were decreased. Reductions in serum TNFα were also observed. |

At Evidentic, we deal with clinical-grade therapeutic molecules. Think of them as the building blocks for tomorrow’s groundbreaking treatments. These molecules are the active ingredients you’ll find in original drugs prescribed to patients, produced under the strictest quality and safety standards. They’ve also been therapeutically proven through rigorous clinical trials, meaning their effectiveness and safety for treating human diseases have been established. By offering researchers access to these essential tools, we’re fueling the fight for a healthier future.
Unlike some commercially available molecules, Evidentic’s clinical-grade therapeutics aren’t just research possibilities – they’re proven powerhouses! Derived from actual drugs used to treat human diseases, these molecules have already undergone rigorous testing and met the strictest safety and quality standards. This means researchers can focus their energy on groundbreaking discoveries, not questioning the reliability of their tools. With Evidentic, you get the confidence of knowing you’re working with the building blocks for real-world medical advancements.
If you struggle to source clinical-grade biologics you need for your research, Evidentic bridges the gap. We offer royalty-free research consumables (RUO-only) derived from original licensed drugs, giving you access to these critical research tools without the hassle.
But that’s not all. We understand the importance of batch variety in your research. That’s why we’ve built a comprehensive stock library, offering numerous batches of the same active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). This dedication to choice means you can find the exact batch that aligns with your specific research needs.
And because we’re constantly expanding our library, you can be sure we’re actively searching for new batches to add to your research arsenal. With Evidentic, unlock the power of readily available, high-quality research tools and accelerate your scientific breakthroughs.
Evidentic offers access to pharmaceuticals approved by the U.S. FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and/or the EMA (European Medicines Agency). This gives you access to a wider variety of molecules for your research, potentially shortening timelines and boosting the accuracy of your results. Compare EU and US molecules head-to-head, and accelerate your early drug development projects with access to these high-quality research tools. Contact us today to explore the possibilities!
Evidentic’s aliquots from approved pharnaceuticals can be used for analytical, in vitro research, typically executed in early drug development stage of drug discovery programs, like:
