Pharmacology
Adalimumab-afzb is a recombinant human IgG1 monoclonal antibody TNF-alpha blocker that binds specifically to TNF-alpha and blocks its interaction with the p55 and p75 cell surface TNF receptors, reducing inflammation and modulating TNF-induced biological responses including leukocyte migration.
Calcipotriene is a synthetic vitamin D3 analog with similar receptor binding affinity as natural vitamin D3; the exact mechanism contributing to clinical efficacy in psoriasis is unknown.
