摘要
Peginterferon-α-2a (40KD) is a new ‘pegylated’ subcutaneous formulation of interferon-α-2a that has been developed to improve on the pharmacokinetic profile and therapeutic efficacy of interferon-α-2a. Peginterferon-α-2a (40KD) is produced by the covalent attachment of recombinant interferon-α-2a to a branched mobile 40KD polyethylene glycol moiety, which shields the interferon-α-2a molecule from enzymatic degradation, reduces systemic clearance and enables once-weekly administration.
