Pharmacology
Dupilumab is a human monoclonal IgG4 antibody that inhibits IL-4 and IL-13 signaling by binding to the IL-4Ra subunit shared by the IL-4 and IL-13 receptor complexes, blocking cytokine-induced inflammatory responses including release of proinflammatory cytokines, chemokines, nitric oxide, and IgE.
Long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA/anticholinergic); competitively and reversibly inhibits M3 receptors at airway smooth muscle to produce bronchodilation lasting longer than 24 hours after once-daily oral inhalation.
