Ustekinumab
Ustekinumab is a human monoclonal antibody that binds to the p40 subunit shared by interleukin-12 (IL-12) and interleukin-23 (IL-23), blocking their interaction with the IL-12Rβ1 receptor and inhibiting downstream Th1 and Th17 inflammatory pathways. It is approved for the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis. Its dual IL-12/23 blockade reduces inflammatory cytokine cascades central to immune-mediated diseases.
