Pharmacology
Risankizumab-rzaa is a humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody that selectively binds to the p19 subunit of human IL-23 cytokine, inhibiting its interaction with the IL-23 receptor and suppressing the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines.
Etanercept is a dimeric soluble form of the human p75 TNF receptor that inhibits binding of TNF-alpha and TNF-beta (lymphotoxin alpha) to cell surface TNF receptors, rendering TNF biologically inactive and modulating downstream inflammatory responses including adhesion molecule expression, cytokine levels, and matrix metalloproteinase levels.
