AI summarySynthesized from FDA + DailyMed + ClinicalTrials.gov data
YUVIWEL (navepegritide) is a C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) analog administered subcutaneously as a powder for reconstitution to treat achondroplasia, the most common form of dwarfism. It works by binding to natriuretic peptide receptor-B (NPR-B) to inhibit overactive FGFR3 signaling, thereby promoting chondrocyte differentiation and stimulating skeletal bone growth. The mechanism directly counteracts the gain-of-function FGFR3 variant that causes achondroplasia-related short stature and skeletal dysplasia.

Mechanism of Action
CNP. CNP binds to natriuretic peptide receptor-B (NPR-B), which inhibits the mitogen activated protein kinase signaling (MAPK) pathway. Achondroplasia is caused by a gain-of-function variant in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) leading to overactive downstream signaling. The overly…
