Plerixafor, sold under the brand name Mozobil, is a medication used to stimulate release of stem cells from the bone marrow into the blood to be collected for later transplanted back.[3] It is used together with a granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF).[1] It is given by injection under the skin.[1]

Common side effects include diarrhea, nausea, and pain at the site of injection.[1] Other side effects may include low platelets, splenic rupture, and release of leukemia cells into the blood.[2] Use in pregnancy may harm the baby.[2] It works by blocking the activity of the CXCR4 chemokine receptor.[1]

Plerixafor was approved for medical use in the United States in 2008 and Europe in 2009.[2][1] In the United Kingdom a vial of 24 mg costs the NHS about £4,900 as of 2021.[4] In the United States this amount costs about 9,300 USD.[5]
