Complement component 5 (C5) is a crucial protein in the complement system, part of thebody’s immune response. It is synthesized in the liver. It circulates in the blood as aninactive precursor. When triggered, C5 splits into C5a and C5b. C5a acts as an inflammationpromoter and attracts immune cells to the sites of infection. C5b kickstarts the creation of amembrane attack complex (MAC), which creates pores in the membranes of pathogens, leading to their destruction. Irregularities in C5 activation are linked to illnesses such asparoxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) and atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome(aHUS)1, 2. ALXN-1210, also known as ravulizumab, is a human monoclonal antibody. This antibodyspecifically targets and inhibits C5, preventing its cleavage into C5a and C5b, thus blocking(MAC) formation. Ravulizumab serves as a lasting inhibitor of C5 designed for effect withless frequent dosing compared to its precursor eculizumab. Clinical studies have shown thatravulizumab effectively treats conditions like PNH and aHUS offering patients convenienceand quality of life due, to its dosing intervals3-5.

The complement component C5 is primarily found in the plasma andextracellular matrix. It is synthesized in the liver and then secreted into the bloodstream.
