Ansuvimab (formerly mAb114) is a monoclonal IgG1 antibody derived from a survivor of the 1995 kikwit EBOV (Ebola virus) outbreak. It is directed against the GP1,2 surface glycoprotein of Zaire ebolavirus .It is used for the treatment of Zaire ebolavirus infection in adult and pediatric patients. This drug has been approved by the FDA in 2020. The DP1,2 glycoproteins of EBOV are involved in the the host cell entry and the subsequent viral espape into the cytoplasm. Usually, those glycoproteins bind to various host receptors (lectins, asialoglycoprotein receptor, TIM1), but with the drug, they are blocked. Ansuvimab binds over a region encompassing both the glycan cap and GP1 core, although the glycan cap isnot important in the binding. Also, studies have shown that the GP1 core is important for the GPCL interaction with NPC1 and thus this drug blocks NPC1-GP interactions (endolysosome escape). The drug protect against the entry of the virus in the host cells. Ansuvimab is available as an intravenous injection.
