Pharmacology

Guselkumab is a human monoclonal IgG1 lambda antibody that selectively binds to the p19 subunit of interleukin-23 (IL-23) and inhibits its interaction with the IL-23 receptor, thereby inhibiting the release of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines.

Enstilar Foam combines calcipotriene hydrate, a synthetic vitamin D3 analog, and betamethasone dipropionate, a synthetic corticosteroid; exact mechanisms of action in the treatment of plaque psoriasis are unknown.
