• Introduction: Bimekizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody directed towards IL-17, which was approved for use in the EU on August 20, 2021, for the treatment of plaque psoriasis. It is the first IL-17 inhibitor to target both IL-17A and IL-17F. It has demonstrated superior efficacy as compared to another IL-17 inhibitor, secukinumab, as well as ustekinumab (an IL-12/23 inhibitor) and adalimumab (a TNF inhibitor) in the treatment of moderate-to-severe psoriasis, likely owing to its dual inhibition of both IL-17A and IL-17F. Bimekizumab was also granted FDA approval on October 18, 2023.
• Purity: >99% by SDS-Page and HPLC analysis

Pharmaceutical Information

• Pharmacodynamics: Bimekizumab exerts its pharmacologic effects by binding to and inhibiting one of the pro-inflammatory cytokines involved in psoriasis pathogenesis. It is administered once-monthly as a subcutaneous injection. Bimekizumab may increased the risk of infection, including upper respiratory tract infections and oral candidiasis. Any clinically important active infections should be resolved prior to therapy. In addition, the use of live vaccines during bimekizumab therapy is not recommended-ensure patients beginning therapy have completed all age appropriate immunizations prior to initiation.
• Targets: Interleukin-17A Interleukin-17F
