NCIt definition : A small molecule compound that depletes serum amyloid P component (SAP), with potential
anti-amyloid activity. Upon injection, miridesap binds to circulating SAP, forming
complexes that are rapidly cleared in the liver. SAP bound to amyloid deposits is
in equilibrium with plasma SAP, and depletion of the latter should lead to the eventual
removal of SAP from amyloid deposits as well. SAP is a universal component of amyloid
deposits and contributes to the pathogenesis of amyloidosis.;
