Pharmacology
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.
WYNZORA Cream combines calcipotriene, a synthetic vitamin D3 analog, and betamethasone dipropionate, a synthetic corticosteroid; the exact mechanisms of their actions in plaque psoriasis are unknown.
