Pharmacology
TNF-alpha antagonist; infliximab-abda is a chimeric IgG1kappa monoclonal antibody that neutralizes TNF-alpha by binding with high affinity to soluble and transmembrane forms of TNF-alpha, inhibiting receptor binding and suppressing downstream pro-inflammatory activity.
Risankizumab-rzaa is a humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody that selectively binds to the p19 subunit of human IL-23 cytokine, inhibiting its interaction with the IL-23 receptor and suppressing the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines.
