Immunopharmacology Comments
Serum amyloid P or pentraxin 2 is a multi-function circulating plasma protein. It exhibits activity as a soluble pattern recognition receptor of the innate immune system, that can bind DNA and histones when these are released from damaged cells.

A recombinant form of human pentraxin 2 (PRM-151; Promedior) has been reported as an anti-fibrotic immunomodulator [2]. PRM-151 was found to inhibit the differentiation of circulating monocytes into fibrocytes and profibrotic macrophages, with an associated anti-fibrotic effect in a preclinical model of opacity-producing corneal injury [6]. In humans PRM-151 has demonstrated clinical utility in patents with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF; see Phase 2 trial NCT02550873) [5]. The anti-fibrotic efficacy of PRM-151 is also being evaluated in patients with myelofibrosis, and as a mechanism to reduce scarring post-trabeculectomy in gluacoma patients.
