Overview

Teprasiran is a synthetic, chemically stabilized small interfering RNA (siRNA) oligonucleotide that acts through RNA interference to temporarily inhibit the expression of the tumor suppressor protein p53. By inhibiting p53-mediated cell death, teprasiran aims to protect renal tubular epithelial cells from injury and reduce the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI), particularly in high-risk patients undergoing cardiac surgery or in kidney transplant recipients at risk for delayed graft function. The drug is administered intravenously and has a short plasma residence time but provides temporary inhibition of p53 for approximately 48–72 hours. Teprasiran has been evaluated in phase 2 and phase 3 clinical trials for prevention of AKI after cardiac surgery and for prevention of delayed graft function following kidney transplantation[1][2][3][6][7].
