Cetuximab consists of the variable antigen-binding regions of the 225 murine EGFr monoclonal antibody that is specific for N-terminal part of human EGFr with human IgG1 heavy chain and kappa light chain constant regions.Used to treat EGFR-expressing metastatic colorectal cancer in patients resistant to irinotecan based chemotherapy regimens. Also used to treat squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck in combination with radiation therapy.Cetuximab specifically binds to the epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFr, HER1, c-ErbB-1) on both normal and tumor cells(EGFr is over-expressed in many colorectal cancers). Cetuximab competitively inhibits the binding of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and other ligands, such as transforming growth factor–alpha. Binding of cetuximab to the EGFr blocks phosphorylation and activation of receptor-associated kinases, resulting in inhibition of cell growth, induction of apoptosis, decreased matrix metalloproteinase secretion and reduced vascular endothelial growth factor production.Cetuximab binds to EGFr (over-expressed in many colorectal cancers) on both normal and tumor cells. Cetuximab competitively inhibits the binding of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and TGF alpha, thereby reducing their effects on cell growth and metastatic spread.Single doses of cetuximab more than 500 mg/m2 have'nt been tested. There is no report of overdosage in human clinical trials.Like other monoclonal antibodies, cetuximab is expected to undergo lysosomal degradation by the reticuloendothelial system and protein catabolism by a target‐mediated disposition pathway.After administration of a 400 mg/m2 initial dose followed by a 250 mg/m2 weekly dose, the steady-state levels of cetuximab was reached by the third weekly infusion with mean peak and trough concentrations across studies ranging from 168 µg/mL to 235 µg/mL and 41 µg/mL to 85 µg/mL, respectively.11 Tmax is about 3 hours.2-3 L/m2(Independent of dose)0.103 L/h( In patients with recurrent and/or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck)Amino Acids, Peptides, and Proteins, Antibodies, Antibodies, Monoclonal, Antibodies, Monoclonal, Humanized, Antineoplastic Agents, Antineoplastic Agents, Immunological, Antineoplastic and Immunomodulating Agents, Blood Proteins, Cancer immunotherapy, Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Antagonist, Globulins, HER1 Antagonists, Immunoglobulins, Immunoproteins, Immunotherapy, Narrow Therapeutic Index Drugs, Proteins, Serum GlobulinsCA13404172-Mar-19992-Mar-2016Thalomid (thalidomide)Epidermal growth factor receptor,Low affinity immunoglobulin gamma Fc region receptor III-B,Complement C1r subcomponent,Complement C1q subcomponent subunit A,Complement C1q subcomponent subunit B,Complement C1q subcomponent subunit C,Low affinity immunoglobulin gamma Fc region receptor III-A,Complement C1s subcomponent,High affinity immunoglobulin gamma Fc receptor I,Low affinity immunoglobulin gamma Fc region receptor II-a,Low affinity immunoglobulin gamma Fc region receptor II-b,Low affinity immunoglobulin gamma Fc region receptor II-cErbituxImClone Systems IncImClone Systems IncUsed for treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (cancer spread beyond the colon or rectum) that over-expresses the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR).

This prevents the development of emphysema.Alpha-1 proteinase inhibitor is a serine protease inhibitor (Serpin). Its primary mechanism is inhibiting the action of the serine protease called elastase (also plasmin and thrombin) in the lungs.

10498Th1094PanitumumabNA NANANANANA7.5 days (range: 4-11 days)Panitumumab (ABX-EGF) is an anti-neoplastic agent. It is a recombinant human IgG2 monoclonal antibody that binds specifically to the human epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR).For the treatment of EGFR-expressing, metastatic colorectal carcinoma that is refractory to fluoropyrimidine-, oxaliplatin-, and irinotecan- containing chemotherapy regimens.Panitumumab is a recombinant, human IgG2 kappa monoclonal antibody that binds specifically to the human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR). EGFR is a transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the subfamily of type I receptor tyrosine kinases. Although EGFR is expressed in normal cells, the overexpression of EGFR is detected in many human cancers, including those of the colon and rectum. Interaction of EGFR with its normal ligands causes phosphorylation and activation of a series of intracellular proteins that will in turn regulate the transcription of genes involved with cellular growth and survival, motility, and prolieration. Signal transduction through EGFR leads to the activation of the wild type KRAS gene, but the presence of an activating somatic mutation of the KRAS gene within a cancer cell can result in the dysregulation of signaling pathways and resistance to EGFR inhibitor therapy.Panitumumab binds specifically to EGFR on both normal and tumor cells, and competitively inhibits the binding of ligands for EGFR. Nonclinical studies show that binding of panitumumab to the EGFR prevents ligand-induced receptor autophosphorylation and activation of receptor-associated kinases, resulting in inhibition of cell growth, induction of apoptosis, decreased pro-inflammatory cytokine and vascular growth factor production, and internalization of the EGFR.Panitumumab was shown to cause skin, ocular and mucosal related toxicities in 90% of patients receiving panitumumab. Subsequent to the development of severe dermatologic toxicities, infectious complications, including sepsis, septic death, and abscesses requiring incisions and drainage, were reported.NANANA4.9+/- 1.4 mL/kg/day [Following single-dose administrations of panitumumab as 1-hour infusions]NANANANANAEpidermal growth factor receptorVectibixAmgen IncAmgen IncNANAsingle-use 5 mL vial contains 100 mg of panitumumab, 29 mg sodium chloride, 34 mg sodium acetate, and Water for Injection, USP.

Changes in pharmacodynamic parameters were observed (i.e., decreases in rheumatoid factor, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), serum amyloid A and increases in hemoglobin) with both doses, however the greatest improvements were observed with 8 mg per kg tocilizumab. Similar pharmacodynamic changes were also observed in active polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis and active systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis patients.Interleukin (IL)-6 plays essential roles not only in the immune response, but also in haematopoiesis and the central nervous system. Deregulated production of IL-6 has been found in chronic inflammatory autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis (soJIA), Crohn's disease (CD) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Furthermore, IL-6 activities can explain many symptoms of these diseases. More importantly, serum levels of IL-6 are correlated with disease activity.

FDA approved June 8, 2012.Pertuzumab is indicated for use in combination with trastuzumab and docetaxel for the treatment of patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer who have not received prior anti-HER2 therapy or chemotherapy for metastatic disease.NAPertuzumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody designed to bind to the HER2 receptor and inhibit the ability of HER2 to interact with other HER family members (HER1, HER2, HER3, and HER4) on the surface of cancer cells. The HER signaling pathway plays a role in the formation and growth of numerous cancers, and previous clinical trials of pertuzumab in a single agent setting had suggested clinical activity - including stable disease - in heavily pretreated patients with advanced ovarian and breast cancers.There are no data regarding overdose of pertuzumab. Single doses higher than 25 mg/kg have not been tested.[L14747] Symptoms of overdose are likely to be consistent with pertuzumab's adverse effect profile, and may therefore involve significant diarrhea, alopecia, neutropenia, nausea, fatigue, rash, and/or peripheral neuropathy.[L14642] Pertuzumab has been associated with the development of left ventricular dysfunction (i.e. cardiotoxicity) that may be exacerbated in instances of overdose.[L14642]The metabolism of pertuzumab has not been studied directly.

It differs from GLP-2 by one amino acid (A to G), which makes it more resistant to dipeptidyl peptidase-4 proteolysis, giving it a longer half-life as compared to endogenous GLP-2. FDA approved on December 21, 2012.Treatment of short bowel syndrome (SBS), malabsorption associated with the removal of the intestine, in adults patients who are dependent on parenteral support.An enhancement of gastrointestinal fluid absorption (750-1000 mL/day) was observed following daily administrations of teduglutide. An increase in villus height and crypt depth of the intestinal mucosa was also noted. A decrease in fecal weight has also been observed. Teduglutide does not prolong the QTc interval.Teduglutide is an analog of naturally occurring human glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2), a peptide secreted by L-cells of the distal intestine in response to meals. GLP-2 increases intestinal and portal blood flow and inhibit gastric acid secretion. Teduglutide binds to the glucagon-like peptide-2 receptors located in enteroendocrine cells, subepithelial myofibroblasts and enteric neurons of the submucosal and myenteric plexus. This causes the release of insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1, nitric oxide and keratinocyte growth factor (KGF). These growth factors may contribute to the increase in crypt cell growth and surface area of the gastric mucosa. Ultimately, absorption through the intestine is enhanced.The most common adverse reactions (= 10%) across all studies with GATTEX are abdominal pain, injection site reactions, nausea, headaches, abdominal distension, upper respiratory tract infection. In addition, vomiting and fluid overload were reported in the SBS studies (1 and 3) at rates = 10%.Although a formal investigation has not been conducted, it is expected because teduglutide is a peptide-based drug, it will be degraded into smaller peptides and amino acids via catabolic pathways. The cytochrome P450 enzyme system is not involved in the metabolism of this drug.The pharmacokinetic profile of teduglutide (when administered subcutaneously) is described by a one-compartment model with first order absorption in the abdomen, arm, and thigh. With escalating doses, teduglutide demonstrates linear pharmacokinetics.

FDA approved on December 14, 2012.Raxibacumab is indicated for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients with inhalational anthrax due to Bacillus anthracis in combination with appropriate antibacterial drugs, and for prophylaxis of inhalational anthrax when alternative therapies are not available or are not appropriate.NARaxibacumab is a monoclonal antibody that binds free PA with an affinity equilibrium dissociation constant (Kd) of 2.78 ± 0.9 nM. Raxibacumab inhibits the binding of PA to its cellular receptors, preventing the intracellular entry of the anthrax lethal factor and edema factor, the enzymatic toxin components responsible for the pathogenic effects of anthrax toxin. It does not have direct antibacterial activity.The most frequently reported adverse reactions were rash, pain in extremity, pruritus, and somnolence.NARaxibacumab does not cross the blood-brain-barrier. When a single IV dose of 40 mg/kg was administered to healthy, male and female human subjects, the pharmacokinetic parameters are as follows: Cmax = 1020.3 ± 140.6 mcg/mL; AUCinf = 15845.8 ± 4333.5 mcg·day/mL. Bioavailability is also dependent on site of injection. When administered to the vastus lateralis, the bioavailability is 71-85%. When administered to the gluteus maximus, the bioavailability is 50-54%.Steady state volume of distribution exceeded plasma volume.

It was approved by the FDA in November 2013 and is marketed under the brand name Gazyva. It carries a black box warning of fatal Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) reactivation and fatal Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML).Obinutuzumab is used as a combination treatment with chlorambucil to treat patients with untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia.Obinutuzumab is more potent than rituximab in depleting B-cells, antitumor activity, and tumor regression.In contrast to rituximab, which is a classic type I CD20 antibody, obinutuzumab binds to type II CD20 antibodies. This allows obinutuzumab to have a much higher induction of antibody-dependant cytotoxicity and a higher direct cytotoxic effect than the classic CD20 antibodies.The most serious toxicities observed with obinutuzumab are Hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation and progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). HBV reactivation can occur with all anti-CD20 antibodies and can result in hepatic failure, fulminant hepatitis, and death. PML occurs as a result of JC virus infection and can be fatal as well. Other common but less serious adverse reactions include infusion reactions (pre-treat with glucocorticoids, acetaminophen, and anti-histamine to prevent this), neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and Tumor Lysis Syndrome (TLS) (pre-treat patients, especially with a high lymphocyte count and/or a high tumor burden, with anti-hyperuricemics and hydration). It is also recommended to NOT administer live virus vaccinations prior to or during obinutuzumab treatment.Obinutuzumab is not metabolized by the liver.Obinutuzumab is administered intravenously, so its absorption is 100%.Obinutuzumab has a volume of distribution of about 3.8 L.The clearance of obinutuzumab is 0.09L/day.Antineoplastic AgentsNANANANAB-lymphocyte antigen CD20GazyvaGenentechGenentechchronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)NAGAZYVA is supplied at a concentration of 25 mg/mL in 1000 mg single use vials.

IVIg contains the same distribution of IgG antibody subclasses as is found in the general human population. IgG subclasses are fully represented in the following proportions: 70.3% IgG1, 24.7% IgG2, 3.1% IgG3, and 1.9% IgG4. IVIg is used in the treatment of immunodeficiencies, as well as autoimmune and inflammatory disorders.IVIg is used in the treatment of immunodeficiencies, as well as autoimmune and inflammatory disorders. These indications includes idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, Kawasaki disease, hypogammaglobulinemia, B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia, bone marrow transplant complications, Guillain-Barré syndrome, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, myesthenia gravis, Wiskott–Aldrich syndrome and inflammatory skin diseases.Used as a replacement therapy in inherited humoral immunodeficiency disorders such as severe combined immunodeficiency syndrome, x-linked agammaglobulinemia, and Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome. The immunoglobulins target, bind and kill bacterial cells as well as viral particles. IgG is the monomeric immunoglobulin of which there are four subclasses (IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 and IgG4) in differing abundances (66%, 23%, 7% and 4%). IgAs represent about 15% of the immunoglobulins in the blood. These target inhaled or ingested pathogens.IVIg interacts with a number of different components of the immune system, including cytokines, complement, Fc receptors and several cell surface immunocompetent molecules. IVIg also impacts different effector cells of the immune system (B and T lymphocytes, dendritic cells, etc.) and regulates a wide range of genes. Its main mechanism of actions are believed to be Fc-dependent and F(ab')2-dependent. IVIg competitively blocks gamma Fc receptors, preventing the binding and ingestion of phagocytes and suppressing platelet depletion. IVIg contains a number of different antobodies, which prevent infection by attaching to the surface of invading pathogens and aiding in their disposal before they can infect cells. Antibodies remove pathogens via complement activation, agglutination or precipitation, pathogen receptor blocking, macrophage “tagging” or neutralization (via binding) of pathogen toxins. Intact IVIg and F(ab′)2 fragments of IVIg can also neutralize the activity of various autoantibodies. By triggering the production of interleukin-1 receptor antagonist, IVIg modulates of the production of cytokines and cytokine antagonists.

The CD20 molecule is expressed on normal B lymphocytes (pre-B- to mature B-lymphocyte) and on B-cell CLL. The Fab domain of ofatumumab binds to the CD20 molecule and the Fc domain mediates immune effector functions to result in B-cell lysis in vitro. Ofatumumab received FDA approval on April 17, 2014, for use in combination with chlorambucil, for the treatment of previously untreated patients with CLL for whom fludarabine-based therapy is considered inappropriate. Ofatumumab was also approved by Health Canada on August 13th, 2012.Ofatumumab is indicated for the treatment of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) refractory to fludarabine and alemtuzumabIn patients with CLL refractory to fludarabine and alemtuzumab, the median decrease in circulating CD19-positive B cells was 91% (n = 50) with the 8th infusion and 85% (n = 32) with the 12th infusion. The time to recovery of lymphocytes, including CD19-positive B cells, to normal levels has not been determined.Ofatumumab binds specifically to both the small and large extracellular loops of the CD20 molecule. The CD20 molecule is expressed on normal B lymphocytes (pre-B- to mature B-lymphocyte) and on B-cell CLL. The CD20 molecule is not shed from the cell surface and is not internalized following antibody binding. The Fab domain of ofatumumab binds to the CD20 molecule and the Fc domain mediates immune effector functions to result in B-cell lysis in vitro. Data suggest that possible mechanisms of cell lysis include complement-dependent cytotoxicity and antibody-dependent, cell-mediated cytotoxicity.There is limited information on overdose of ofatumumab. Ofatumumab may cause B-cell depletion in the fetus when administered in pregnant women.[L12612]Like other monoclonal antibodies, ofatumumab is expected to undergo lysosomal degradation by the reticuloendothelial system and protein catabolism by a target-mediated disposition pathway.[A40006]In one study consisting of patients with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small lymphocytic lymphoma, the Cmax was 94 µg/mL and the Tmax was 7.3 hours following the first infusion of 300 mg ofatumumab.[A193059] Following subcutaneous injection, ofatumumab is thought to be absorbed primarily into the lymphatic system. Subcutaneous dosing of 20 mg every four weeks resulted in a mean AUCtau of 483 µgIn patients with CLL, the mean volume of distribution at steady-state was 5.8 L.[L12612] Repeated subcutaneous dosing with 20 mg of ofatumumab resulted in a steady-state volume of distribution of 5.42 L.[L15581]In patients with CLL, the mean clearance at steady-state was 11.6 mL/hour.[L12612] In patients administered ofatumumab subcutaneously in repeated 20 mg injections, the steady-state clearance following B-cell depletion was estimated to be 0.34 L/day.[L15581]Antineoplastic and Immunomodulating AgentsUS833784725-12-201225-11-2028B-lymphocyte antigen CD20B-lymphocyte antigen CD20ArzerraGlaxo Smith Kline LlcGlaxo Smith Kline LlcARZERRA (ofatumumab) is indicated, in combination with chlorambucil, for the treatment of previously untreated patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) for whom fludarabine-based therapy is considered inappropriateNASolutionLiquidIntravenousDilute and administer as an intravenous infusion according to the following schedules.

It is indicated for use in patients with unresectable (cannot be surgically removed) or metastatic melanoma who no longer respond to other drugs. Nivolumab is administered as an intravenous infusion over 60 minutes every 2 weeks.Nivolumab is indicated for the treatment of unresectable or metastatic melanoma for patients who no longer respond to treatment with other drugs. It is intended for use in patients who have been previously treated with ipilimumab and is used for melanoma patients after treatment with ipilimumab and a BRAF inhibitor in patients whose tumors express BRAF V600 gene mutations. Historically there have been very few effective treatments for advanced melanoma, which is why this product was approved under an FDA accelerated program to allow earlier patient access.Combined nivolumab (anti-PD-1) and ipilimumab (anti-CTLA-4) mediated inhibition results in enhanced T-cell function that is greater than the effects of either antibody alone, and results in improved anti-tumor responses in metastatic melanoma. In murine syngeneic tumor models, dual blockade of PD-1 and CTLA-4 resulted in increased anti-tumor activity.Nivolumab is a human immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) monoclonal antibody that binds to the programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) receptor and selectively blocks interaction with its programmed death ligands PD-L1 and PD-L2. Upregulation of PD-1 ligands occurs in some tumors and signalling through this pathway can contribute to inhibition of active T-cell immune surveillance of tumour tissue. The inhibitory effect of PD-1 and its ligands occurs through the promotion of apoptosis in antigen specific T cells while simultaneously blocking apoptosis in suppressor T cells. Blocking PD-1 activity has been shown to lead to decreased tumour growth in mouse tumour models.Data regarding overdoses of nivolumab are not readily available.[L12129] Common adverse effects include Rash, pruritus, cough, upper respiratory tract infection, and peripheral edema.[L12129]There have not been formal studies regarding the specific metabolism of nivolumab but as a human monoclonal antibody, it has been suggested to be degraded to small peptides and individual amino acids.[L12618]Pharmacokinetic studies have suggested that nivolumab presents linear pharmacokinetics with a dose-proportional increase in peak concentration and AUC. The time to peak plasma concentration ranges between 1-4 hours.[A35187] The absorption pharmacokinetic properties respective to the administration of a dose of 10 mg/kg are reported to be Cmax, Tmax and AUC of 242 µg/kg, 2.99 hours and 68100 µgThe volume of distribution at steady state when a dose of 10 mg/kg of nivolumab is administered is reported to be 91.1 mL/kg.[A35285] At doses ranging from 0.1 to 20 mg/kg the volume of distribution is reported to be 8L.[A35290]The estimated clearance rate of nivolumab is 9.4 mL/h.[A35284] The clearance rate seems to be increased according to body weight.[A35290]Antineoplastic and Immunomodulating AgentsUS201317322313-05-201313-05-2033BelimumabProgrammed cell death protein 1OpdivoE.R.

10859Th1221C1 Esterase Inhibitor (Recombinant)NA 67000NANANANA2.4-2.7 hrC1 Esterase Inhibitor (Recombinant) is a recombinant analogue of endogenous complement component-1 esterase inhibitor (rhC1INH), purified from the milk of transgenic rabbits. The primary function of endogenous C1INH is to regulate the activation of the complement and contact system pathways. It does this through inhibition of several target proteases within these pathways including activated C1s, kallikrein, factor XIIa and factor XIa. C1 esterase inhibitor has also been shown to inhibit the action of thrombin within the coagulation pathway, and tPA and plasmin within the fibrinolytic pathway. Deficiency of C1-inhibitor permits plasma kallikrein activation, which leads to the production of the vasoactive peptide bradykinin. Additionally, C4 and C2 cleavage goes unchecked, resulting in auto-activation of the complement system. Down-stream effects of the lack of enzyme inhibition by C1 esterase inhibitor results in swelling due to leakage of fluid from blood vessels into connective tissue and consequently the presentation of hereditary angioedema (HAE).

Skeletal growth is accomplished at the epiphyseal plates at the ends of a growing bone. Growth and metabolism of epiphyseal plate cells are directly stimulated by GH and one of its mediators, IGF-I (insulin-like growth factor).hGH binds to the human growth hormone receptor (GHR). Upon binding, hGH causes dimerization of GHR, activation of the GHR-associated JAK2 tyrosine kinase, and tyrosyl phosphorylation of both JAK2 and GHR. These events recruit and/or activate a variety of signaling molecules, including MAP kinases, insulin receptor substrates, phosphatidylinositol 3' phosphate kinase, diacylglycerol, protein kinase C, intracellular calcium, and Stat transcription factors. These signaling molecules contribute to the GH-induced changes in enzymatic activity, transport function, and gene expression that ultimately culminate in changes in growth and metabolism.NANANANANAHormones, Hormone Substitutes, and Hormone AntagonistsCA1326439,CA2252535Mostly froMostly 202The therapeutic efficacy of Somatropin recombinant can be decreased when used in combination with Bazedoxifene, Chlorotrianisene, Conjugated Equine Estrogens, Cortisone acetate, Dienestrol, Diethylstilbestrol, Estradiol, Estriol, Estrone, Ethinyl Estradiol.Growth hormone receptor, Prolactin receptorNutropinAQGenentech Inc.Genentech Inc.Treating certain children or adults when the body does not produce enough growth hormone.

IgG subclasses are fully represented in the following proportions: 70.3% IgG1, 24.7% IgG2, 3.1% IgG3, and 1.9% IgG4. IVIg is used in the treatment of immunodeficiencies, as well as autoimmune and inflammatory disorders.IVIg is used in the treatment of immunodeficiencies, as well as autoimmune and inflammatory disorders. These indications includes idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, Kawasaki disease, hypogammaglobulinemia, B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia, bone marrow transplant complications, Guillain-Barré syndrome, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, myesthenia gravis, Wiskott–Aldrich syndrome and inflammatory skin diseases.Used as a replacement therapy in inherited humoral immunodeficiency disorders such as severe combined immunodeficiency syndrome, x-linked agammaglobulinemia, and Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome. The immunoglobulins target, bind and kill bacterial cells as well as viral particles. IgG is the monomeric immunoglobulin of which there are four subclasses (IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 and IgG4) in differing abundances (66%, 23%, 7% and 4%). IgAs represent about 15% of the immunoglobulins in the blood. These target inhaled or ingested pathogens.IVIg interacts with a number of different components of the immune system, including cytokines, complement, Fc receptors and several cell surface immunocompetent molecules. IVIg also impacts different effector cells of the immune system (B and T lymphocytes, dendritic cells, etc.) and regulates a wide range of genes. Its main mechanism of actions are believed to be Fc-dependent and F(ab')2-dependent. IVIg competitively blocks gamma Fc receptors, preventing the binding and ingestion of phagocytes and suppressing platelet depletion. IVIg contains a number of different antobodies, which prevent infection by attaching to the surface of invading pathogens and aiding in their disposal before they can infect cells. Antibodies remove pathogens via complement activation, agglutination or precipitation, pathogen receptor blocking, macrophage “tagging” or neutralization (via binding) of pathogen toxins. Intact IVIg and F(ab')2 fragments of IVIg can also neutralize the activity of various autoantibodies. By triggering the production of interleukin-1 receptor antagonist, IVIg modulates of the production of cytokines and cytokine antagonists. It also prevents the generation of the C5b-9 membrane attack complex and subsequent complement-mediated tissue damage by binding active complement components.NANANANANANANANANANAHigh affinity immunoglobulin gamma Fc receptor I,High affinity immunoglobulin gamma Fc receptor IB,Low affinity immunoglobulin gamma Fc region receptor II-a,Low affinity immunoglobulin gamma Fc region receptor II-b,Low affinity immunoglobulin gamma Fc region receptor II-c,Low affinity immunoglobulin gamma Fc region receptor III-A,Low affinity immunoglobulin gamma Fc region receptor III-B,Complement C3,Complement C4-A,Complement C4-B,Complement C5Octagam 5%Octapharma Pharmazeutika Produktionsges M B HOctapharma Pharmazeutika Produktionsges M B HIntravenous50 mg / mLOctagam 5% liquid is contraindicated in patients who have acute severe hypersensitivity reactions to human immunoglobulin.
