Pharmacology
Brodalumab is a human monoclonal IgG2 antibody that selectively binds to IL-17RA and inhibits its interactions with IL-17 family cytokines (IL-17A, IL-17F, IL-17C, IL-17A/F heterodimer, IL-25), thereby blocking IL-17 cytokine-induced pro-inflammatory responses.
Bimekizumab-bkzx is a humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody that selectively binds IL-17A, IL-17F, and IL-17AF cytokines, inhibiting their interaction with the IL-17 receptor complex and suppressing the release of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines.
