Biologic DMARDS Flashcards
Structure of Abatacept?
-fusion protein: human CTLA4/IgG1 Fc fragment
MOA of Abatacept?
- binds CD 80 &86
- prevents T-cell co-stimulatory signal engaging with CD 28
Structure of Adalimumab?
-TNF-alpha monoclonal Ab
MOA of Adalimumab?
- binds TNF-alpha
- blocks interaction with p55 & p75 cell surface receptors
Structure of Anakinra?
-recombinant human IL-1 receptor antagonist
MOA of Anakinra?
-competitively inhibits IL-1a and IL-1b, binding to IL-1 type receptor
Structure of Certolizumab pegol?
-Fab fragment of TNF-a Ab
MOA of certolizumab pegol?
-neutralizes membrane associated and soluble human TNF-a
Structure of Entercept?
-extracellular ligand binding portion of human p75 TNF receptor linked to part of a human IgG Fc
MOA of Entercept?
- endogenous p75 acts as a TNF antagonist,
- binds to and inactivates TNF but does not effect production or serum levels of TNF
Structure of Golimumab?
-human dervied TNF-a Ab
MOA of Golimumab?
-binds to and neutralizes both soluble and transmembrane TNF-a
Structure of Infliximab?
-chimeric mouse/human IgG1k monoclonal Ab against TNF-a
MOA of Infliximab?
-binds to and neutralizes both soluble and transmembrane TNF-a
Structure of Rituximab?
-chimeric monoclonal Ab against B-lymphocyte CD-20 receptor.
