Pharmacology
TNF-alpha blocker; adalimumab-bwwd 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, also lysing surface TNF-expressing cells in vitro in the presence of complement.
Methotrexate inhibits dihydrofolic acid reductase, interfering with DNA synthesis, repair, and cellular replication by blocking reduction of dihydrofolates to tetrahydrofolates required for purine nucleotide and thymidylate synthesis; the mechanism in pJIA is unknown but may affect immune function.
