Pharmacology
Adalimumab-fkjp 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, reducing inflammatory and immune responses in conditions including RA, JIA, PsA, AS, CD, UC, Ps, HS, and UV.
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.
