Mechanism of action

G-CSF is a cytokine that binds to G-CSF receptors on hematopoietic progenitor cells, promoting their maturation into functional neutrophils. Pegylation extends the drug's half-life by reducing renal clearance and increasing circulation time, allowing for less frequent dosing compared to non-pegylated G-CSF. This results in sustained elevation of neutrophil counts, reducing infection risk in patients with chemotherapy-induced neutropenia or other causes of low neutrophil counts.
