Short description
Pharmacodynamic properties
(Mechanism of action; Source EMA document)
Epoetin zeta is a biosimilar medicinal product. Erythropoietin (EPO) is a glycoprotein hormone produced primarily by the kidney in response to hypoxia and is the key regulator of RBC production. EPO is involved in all phases of erythroid development, and has its principal effect at the level of erythroid precursors. After EPO binds to its cell surface receptor, it activates signal transduction pathways that interfere with apoptosis and stimulates erythroid cell proliferation. Recombinant human EPO (epoetin zeta), expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells, has a 165 amino acid sequence identical to that of human urinary EPO; the 2 are indistinguishable on the basis of functional assays. The apparent molecular weight of erythropoietin is 32 000 to 40 000 dalton
Pharmacodynamic properties (Pharmacodynamic effects; Source EMA document)After single doses (20 000 to 160 000 IU subcutaneously) of epoetin alfa, a dose-dependent response was observed for the pharmacodynamic markers investigated including: reticulocytes, RBCs, and haemoglobin.
