Mechanism of Action Interleukin-6 receptor subunit alpha Inhibitor Antibody Identification Summary Tocilizumab is an interleukin-6 (IL-6) receptor antagonist used to treat Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS), Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (sJIA), Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA), and Rheumatoid Arthritis...
Tocilizumab (Actemra) is a drug used to treat autoimmune diseases, including Rheumatoid arthritis, through a novel Mechanism of action discovered in Japan. It is also the first Antibody drug developed in Japan. Chugai Pharmaceuticals started the Basic research on autoimmune disease early, when ...
PALETTE is a perpetual adaptive platform to efficiently study sepsis interventions within 'treatable traits' in all-ages patients enabling prompt evaluation of pandemic treatments. Treatable traits, therapeutic targets identified by phenotypes or endotypes (defined by biological mechanism or by treatment res...

Tocilizumab (Actemra) is a drug used to treat autoimmune diseases, including Rheumatoid arthritis, through a novel Mechanism of action discovered in Japan. It is also the first Antibody drug developed in Japan. Chugai Pharmaceuticals started the Basic research on autoimmune disease early, when neither...
Mechanism of Action: Tocilizumab & IL-6 Receptors Tocilizumab binds to both soluble and membrane-bound IL-6 receptors. This interaction blocks IL-6 from exerting the downstream pro-inflammatory effects it is able to produce when left unchecked. The competitive inhibition ofIL-6/IL-6 receptorbinding...
The lipid increase may be related to the mechanism of action of tocilizumab, because IL-6 decreases serum cho- lesterol in cancer patients.24,25 We have recently found that IL-6 induces expression of the very low density lipoprotein receptor on cell surfaces, leading to increased consumption...
Mechanism Of Action Tocilizumab products bind to both soluble and membrane-bound IL-6 receptors (sIL-6R and mIL-6R), and has been shown to inhibit IL-6-mediated signaling through these receptors. IL-6 is a pleiotropic pro-inflammatory cytokine produced by a variety of cell types including T...
Mechanism of ActionInterleukin 6 receptor antagonists Orphan Drug Status Orphan designation is assigned by a regulatory body to encourage companies to develop drugs for rare diseases. Yes - Giant lymph node hyperplasia; Vasculitis; Drug hypersensitivity; Systemic scleroderma ...
Thus, patients may benefit from treatment with newer biologic agents with a different mechanism of action. Tocilizumab is an IL-6 receptor inhibitor which shows significant (and rapid) clinical efficacy in the treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis patients, as assessed by ACR responses and DAS remission...
