Pharmacology
Tildrakizumab is a humanized IgG1/k monoclonal antibody that selectively binds to the p19 subunit of IL-23 and inhibits its interaction with the IL-23 receptor, thereby suppressing the release of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines.
TNF-alpha antagonist; infliximab is a chimeric IgG1 monoclonal antibody that neutralizes the biological activity of TNF-alpha by binding with high affinity to both soluble and transmembrane forms of TNF-alpha and inhibiting its binding to receptors, thereby reducing inflammation in RA, CD, UC, AS, PsA, and Ps.
