Pharmacology
Golimumab is a human monoclonal antibody (TNF-alpha inhibitor) that binds to both the soluble and transmembrane bioactive forms of human TNF-alpha, preventing receptor binding and inhibiting TNF-alpha biological activity, a key mediator of articular inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis.
TNF-alpha antagonist; adalimumab-aqvh is a recombinant human IgG1 monoclonal antibody that binds specifically to TNF-alpha and blocks its interaction with the p55 and p75 cell surface TNF receptors, also lysing surface TNF-expressing cells in vitro in the presence of complement.
