Active Ingredient Description
Canacinumab

Canacinumab is a human monoclonal anti-human interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) antibody of the IgG1/Îș isotype. Canacinumab binds with high affinity specifically to human IL-1 beta and neutralises the biological activity of human IL-1 beta by blocking its interaction with IL-1 receptors, thereby preventing IL-1 beta-induced gene activation and the production of inflammatory mediators.
