Pharmacology
Golimumab is a human IgG1 monoclonal antibody (TNF-alpha inhibitor) that binds to both the soluble and transmembrane bioactive forms of human TNF-alpha, preventing its binding to receptors and inhibiting the biological activity of TNF-alpha in inflammatory diseases.
TYK2 inhibitor; deucravacitinib binds the regulatory domain of TYK2, allosterically inhibiting receptor-mediated TYK2 activation and downstream STAT signaling via the JAK-STAT pathway.
