| Description | Obiltoxaximab, an affinity-enhanced monoclonal antibody (Mab), is used for prevention and treatment of infection and death caused by anthrax toxin. Obiltoxaximab is a chimeric IgG1 kappa monoclonal antibody (mAb) that binds the PA component of B. anthracis toxin. It has an approximate molecular weight of 148 kDa. |
| Indication/Disease | Investigated for use/treatment in anthrax exposure, bacterial infection, crohn's disease, and graft versus host disease. |
| Pharmacodynamics | NA |
| Mechanism of Action | ETI-204 is an affinity-enhanced, de-immunized antibody, which means that its ability to bind to its target pathogen has been strengthened and that elements that might cause an immune response have been removed. ETI-204 targets and binds to Protective Antigen, which prevents the anthrax toxins from binding to and entering the cells in the body, thereby preventing death. |
