Ocular involvement is particularly frequent and severe; vascular occlusion secondary to retinal vasculitis may lead to rapid and severe loss of vision. Biologics have transformed the management of intraocular inflammation. However, the diagnosis of BD is still a major challenge. In the absence of a reliable biological marker, diagnosis is based on clinical diagnostic criteria and may be delayed after the appearance of the onset sign. However, therapeutic management of BD needs to be introduced early in order to control inflammation, to preserve visual function and to limit irreversible structural damage.

These agents provide numerous benefits compared to traditional small molecule drugs, though their clinical use still requires optimization. The pharmacology of mAbs/ADCs is complex and because ADCs are comprised of multiple components, individual agent characteristics and patient variables can affect their disposition. To further improve the clinical use and rational development of these agents, it is imperative to comprehend the complex mechanisms employed by antibody-based agents in traversing numerous biological barriers and how agent/patient factors affect tumor delivery, toxicities, efficacy, and ultimately, biodistribution.

I hope you and your family are staying safe during these still challenging times. Thankfully 2020 is behind us now. We have lived through the COVID-19 pandemic, an event that will continue to impact our lives for some time and likely alter how we live in the future. Despite the obvious difficulties of this past year, I can’t help but marvel at the scientific advances that have been made. With everything from COVID-19 testing, to treatments and especially to the rapid pace of vaccine development, we are so better off today than even a few months back. The approval of remarkably effective COVID-19 vaccines now rolling out in the US, Israel, UK, Europe and across the globe, brings light at the end of the tunnel. The work of many of you has helped shape our understanding of the host response to Sars-CoV2 and the ability of this virus to limit antiviral immunity while simultaneously driving a cytokine driven hyperinflammatory response leading to deadly consequences for patients. The knowledge gained from all of your efforts has been put to good use to stem the threat of this deadly virus.

  • Interleukins in Therapeutics
    67 ISSN: 2347 - 7881 Review Article Interleukins in Therapeutics Anjan Khadka Department of Pharmacology, AFMC, Pune, India [email protected] ABSTRACT Interleukins are a subset of a larger group of cellular messenger molecules called cytokines, which are modulators of cellular behaviour. On the basis of their respective cytokine profiles, responses to chemokines, and interactions with other cells, these T-cell subsets can promote different types of inflammatory responses. During the development of allergic disease, effector TH2 cells produce IL-4, IL- 5, IL-9, and IL-32. IL-25, IL- 31, and IL-33 contributes to TH2 responses and inflammation. These cytokines have roles in production of allergen-specific IgE, eosinophilia, and mucus. ILs have role in therapeutics as well as diagnosis and prognosis as biomarker in various conditions. Therapeutic targeting of the IL considered to be rational treatment strategy and promising biologic therapy. Keywords: Interleukins, cytokines, Interleukin Inhibitors, Advances INTRODUCTION meaning ‘hormones’. It was Stanley Cohen in Interleukins are group of cytokines that were 1974 who for the first time introduced the term first seen to be expressed by leucocytes and ‘‘cytokine’’.

Secukinumab is an interleukin-17A (IL- 17A) inhibitor marketed by Novartis. IL-17 is a group of proinflammatory cytokines released by cells of the immune system and and exist in higher levels in many immune conditions associated with chronic inflammation. By targeting IL-17A, secukinumab has shown excellent efficacy in psoriasis by normalizing skin histology and was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration on January 21, 2015 to treat adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.

  • September 2017 ~ Resource #330909
    −This Clinical Resource gives subscribers additional insight related to the Recommendations published in− September 2017 ~ Resource #330909 Medications Stored in the Refrigerator (Information below comes from current U.S. and Canadian product labeling and is current as of date of publication) Proper medication storage is important to ensure medication shelf life until the manufacturer expiration date and to reduce waste. Many meds are recommended to be stored at controlled-room temperature. However, several meds require storage in the refrigerator or freezer to ensure stability. See our toolbox, Medication Storage: Maintaining the Cold Chain, for helpful storage tips and other resources. Though most meds requiring storage at temperatures colder than room temperature should be stored in the refrigerator, expect to see a few meds require storage in the freezer. Some examples of medications requiring frozen storage conditions include: anthrax immune globulin (Anthrasil [U.S. only]), carmustine wafer (Gliadel [U.S. only]), cholera (live) vaccine (Vaxchora), dinoprostone vaginal insert (Cervidil), dinoprostone vaginal suppository (Prostin E2 [U.S.]), varicella vaccine (Varivax [U.S.]; Varivax III [Canada] can be stored in the refrigerator or freezer), zoster vaccine (Zostavax [U.S.]; Zostavax II [Canada] can be stored in the refrigerator or freezer). Use the list below to help identify medications requiring refrigerator storage and become familiar with acceptable temperature excursions from recommended storage conditions. Abbreviations: RT = room temperature Abaloparatide (Tymlos [U.S.]) Aflibercept (Eylea) Amphotericin B (Abelcet, Fungizone) • Once open, may store at RT (68°F to 77°F • May store at RT (77°F [25°C]) for up to Anakinra (Kineret) [20°C to 25°C]) for up to 30 days.

This is because of their high potency, high specificity and desirable safety profile. The majority of biological drugs are peptide- and protein-based therapeutics with poor oral bioavailability. They are normally administered by parenteral injection (with a very few exceptions). Pulmonary delivery is an attractive non-invasive alternative route of administration for local and systemic delivery of biologics with immense potential to treat various diseases, including diabetes, cystic fibrosis, respiratory viral infection and asthma, etc. The massive surface area and extensive vascularisation in the lungs enable rapid absorption and fast onset of action. Despite the benefits of pulmonary delivery, development of inhalable biological drug is a challenging task. There are various anatomical, physiological and immunological barriers that affect the therapeutic efficacy of inhaled formulations. This review assesses the characteristics of biological drugs and the barriers to pulmonary drug delivery.
