SKYCLARYS (Omaveloxolone)
CONTENTS
CHEMISTRY OF SKYCLARYS
THERAPEUTUC CLASS OF SKYCLARYS
MECHANISM OF ACTION The mechanism of action of Omaveloxolone and its related compounds has been demonstrated to be through a combination of activation of the antioxidative transcription factor Nrf2 and inhibition of the pro inflammatory transcription factor. Nrf2 transcriptionally regulates multiple genes that play both direct and indirect roles in producing antioxidative potential and the production of cellular energy within the mitochondria. Consequently, unlike exogenously administered antioxidants which provide a specific and finite antioxidative potential, Omaveloxolone, through Nrf2,broadly activates intracellular and mitochondrial antioxidative pathways, in addition to pathways that may directly increase mitochondrial biogenesis(such as PGC alpha) and bioenergetics.
