Pharmacology
Vedolizumab is a humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to the alpha4beta7 integrin and blocks its interaction with mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule-1 (MAdCAM-1), inhibiting the migration of memory T-lymphocytes into inflamed gastrointestinal tissue; the mechanism is gut-selective and does not affect the alpha4beta1 or alphaEbeta7 integrins or VCAM-1 interactions.
Upadacitinib is a JAK inhibitor that modulates intracellular signaling by preventing JAK-mediated phosphorylation and activation of STATs, thereby influencing immune cell function and hematopoiesis.
