Pegylated interferon alfa-2b is a treatment for hepatitis C developed by Schering-Plough, brand name is Peg Intron.
It was approved in January 2001.
PEG-interferon alpha is a pegylated interferon composed of 165 amino acids. The PEG (polyethylene glycol) protects the molecule from proteolytic breakdown and increases the biological half-life of the interferon protein. While PEG-interferon alpha-2b is commonly used as a treatment for hepatitis C , it has also been shown to have optimistic effects in the treatment of malignant melanoma. It is also used in pateints with neurofibromatosis to shrink neurofibromas . [ 1 ] [ 2 ]
