Volanesorsen (sodium)

Volanesorsen (ISIS 304801) sodium is an antisense oligonucleotide inhibitor of apolipoprotein CIII (apo-CIII) mRNA that reduces triglyceride levels and improves insulin resistance. Volanesorsen sodium is being studied in the treatment of hypertriglyceridemia, familial chylosiderosis syndrome, and type 2 diabetes[1][2][3][4][5].
