Rusfertide

Rusfertide, a peptide mimetic of natural hepcidin, targets and degrades ferroportin, thereby reducing serum iron and transferrin saturation, which helps regulate red blood cell production. It ameliorates conditions such as polycythemia vera, β-thalassemia, and hereditary hemochromatosis [1] [2].
