Overview:

Adalimumab
(when available)

Pharmacology and use:
Used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Elevated levels of TNF are found in the synovial fluid of rheumatoid arthritis patients and play an important role in both the pathologic inflammation and the joint destruction that are hallmarks of the disease. Adalimumab binds specifically to TNF-alpha and blocks its general cytokine effects, thereby reducing TNF-induced inflammation and halting the joint destruction. For treatment of rheumatoid arthritis

Mechanism Of Action:
Adalimumab binds to TNF-alpha and blocks its interaction with the p55 and p75 cell surface TNF receptors. Adalimumab also lyses surface TNF expressing cells in vitro in the presence of complement.
