| Synonyms: | -- |
| Molecular Formula: | -- |
| SMILES: | -- |
| DrugBank Description: | AME-527 is a humanized monoclonal antibody that recognizes human TNF-alpha (hTNF-alpha) with high affinity and specificity. AME-527 was generated by protein engineering and identified from a library of antibody variants based on its improved binding properties. |
| CAS Number: | -- |
| Molecular Weight: | |
| DrugBank Indication: | Investigated for use/treatment in rheumatoid arthritis. |
| DrugBank Pharmacology: | -- |
| DrugBank MoA: | AME-527 is approximately ten-fold more potent than Remicade(R) in binding to and neutralizing the hTNF-alpha molecule, and 6 to 8-fold more potent than Humira(TM). Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) has a key role in rheumatoid synovitis, as an inflammatory cytokine at the top of the inflammatory cascade. Blocking TNF-alpha with AME-527 or fusion proteins is an important and established disease intervention, validating the role of the cytokine in disease activity and progression. |
