Interleukin Inhibitor

Molecular classification
Immunosuppressant, Biologic, Monoclonal Antibody, Recombinant Protein
01

Overview

Interleukin inhibitors are a class of immunosuppressive agents that specifically inhibit the action of interleukins, a group of cytokines that regulate immune responses and inflammation. These drugs suppress the signaling pathways that drive inflammation and autoimmunity by blocking the interaction of interleukins with their receptors. While effective in treating autoimmune and inflammatory disorders, they carry the risk of increased infections due to their immunosuppressive action.
