| Bioactivity | Avacincaptad pegol, which is a pegylated aptamer, has garnered significant attention as a C5 complement inhibitor that may reduce inflammation-related retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) damage. Avacincaptad pegol caqn be used for the research of stargardt macular dystrophy (STGD1) and geographic atrophy (GA)[1][2]. |
