Pharmacology
TNF-alpha inhibitor; chimeric IgG1kappa monoclonal antibody that neutralizes TNFalpha by binding with high affinity to the soluble and transmembrane forms of TNFalpha, inhibiting binding of TNFalpha with its receptors.
Mirikizumab-mrkz is a humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody that selectively binds to the p19 subunit of IL-23, inhibiting its interaction with the IL-23 receptor and suppressing downstream pro-inflammatory cytokine and chemokine release involved in mucosal inflammation.
