Berotralstat

Berotralstat (BCX7353) is a second-generation, synthetic, and orally active plasma kallikrein inhibitor with low toxicity. It is highly specific and effectively used in the research of hereditary angioedema (HAE) attacks. Berotralstat functions by inhibiting the enzymatic activity of plasma kallikrein, which is responsible for the release of bradykinin. This blocking mechanism targets the major biologic peptide involved in the promotion of swelling and pain associated with HAE attacks[1][2].
