Taking a Breather: Advances in Interleukin 5 Inhibition for Asthma Relief
journal contribution
posted on 2022-11-24, 03:07 authored by Oliver MasseyOliver Massey, Cenk SuphiogluCenk SuphiogluInterleukin 5 (IL-5) is a major cytokine responsible for eosinophil proliferation, migration and degranulation. Eosinophils play a considerable role in the manifestation of type 2 asthma, and therefore this makes IL-5 a unique and clinically important target for therapeutic intervention. Due to the critical role that IL-5 plays in all areas of eosinophil activity, it has been identified and targeted by three therapeutics, Mepolizumab, Benralizumab and Reslizumab. This review describes the IL-5 pathway and presents the clinical trial history of the three IL-5 inhibitors, to provide insight into the role of IL-5 in clinical asthma presentation. Additionally, this review aims to foster further investigation into the IL-5 pathway by describing current novel therapeutic discovery strategies with monoclonal antibodies.
