Pharmacology
Topical corticosteroid; corticosteroids play a role in cellular signaling, immune function, inflammation, and protein regulation, though the precise mechanism of action in plaque psoriasis is unknown.
Etanercept is a dimeric soluble form of the human p75 TNF receptor that inhibits binding of TNF-alpha and TNF-beta (lymphotoxin alpha) to cell surface TNF receptors, rendering TNF biologically inactive and modulating downstream inflammatory responses including adhesion molecule expression, cytokine levels, and matrix metalloproteinase levels.
