Drug Descriptions |
Asparlas (calaspargase pegol-mknl) is a pegylated version of L-asparaginase derived from E.coli, which converts L-asparagine to ammonia and L-aspartic acid, potentially resulting in reduced levels of asparagine leading to inhibition of protein synthesis and tumor cell proliferation, and increased cell death (NCI Drug Dictionary). Asparlas (calaspargase pegol-mknl) is approved as a component of multi-agent chemotherapy in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (FDA.gov). |
