About Interleukin 23 Antagonists.

Interleukin-23 antagonists are a therapeutic class of targeted biologic agents designed to disrupt the proinflammatory signaling pathways driven by interleukin-23.

These agents, primarily monoclonal antibodies such as guselkumab, risankizumab, tildrakizumab, and mirikizumab, selectively bind to the unique p19 subunit of interleukin-23, thereby preventing its interaction with cell-surface receptors and inhibiting downstream inflammatory cascades, particularly the activation and differentiation of T-helper 17 cells.

Clinically, this class is primarily utilized to treat chronic immune-mediated inflammatory disorders, including moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, active psoriatic arthritis, and inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
