Zilebesiran is an experimental drug made by the pharmaceutical companies Roche and Alnylam.[1] It is being tested for the treatment of high blood pressure.[1] It is a small interfering RNA given through the skin twice yearly to lower blood pressure in those taking other antihypertensive drugs.[1] The drug works by blocking the synthesis of angiotensinogen in human liver.[1]
