Pharmacology
Humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody that selectively binds to interleukin-17A (IL-17A) and inhibits its interaction with the IL-17 receptor.
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.
