Pharmacology
TNF-alpha antagonist; adalimumab-adaz is a recombinant human IgG1 monoclonal antibody that binds specifically to TNF-alpha and blocks its interaction with the p55 and p75 cell surface TNF receptors, also lysing surface TNF-expressing cells in vitro in the presence of complement.
IL-1 receptor antagonist; anakinra is a recombinant human IL-1Ra that competitively inhibits IL-1alpha and IL-1beta binding to the interleukin-1 type I receptor (IL-1RI), blocking downstream inflammatory and immunological responses including cartilage degradation and bone resorption.
