A study was performed on the pharmacokinetics of this drug on various ethnicities. The pharmacokinetics of tildrakizumab were similar in Japanese, Caucasian, and Chinese subjects . |
CAS Number: | 1326244-10-3 |
Molecular Weight: | |
DrugBank Indication: | Moderate-severe plaque psoriasis , . |
DrugBank Pharmacology: | Tildrakuzimab is a targeted immunomodulator that decreases inflammation by inhibiting the action of various cytokines associated with plaque psoriasis, thus relieving its symptom of scaly plaques , . |
DrugBank MoA: | This drug selectively binds interleukin (IL)-23 p19 subunit of cytokine IL-23 and neutralizes its function IL-23 regulates Th17 cells and is a powerful activator of keratinocyte proliferation . Targeting IL-23p19 alone has been found to be a promising treatment approach in patients with moderate-to-severe chronic plaque psoriasis. Upon administration, downregulation of Th17 and Th22 cell responses occur . IL-23 is a naturally occurring cytokine that is involved in inflammatory and immune responses. Tildrakizumab inhibits the release of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines . |
Targets: | Interleukin-23 antagonist |
Inclusion Criteria: | Therapeutic strategy associated |
