Etanercept is an immunosuppressant used to treat autoimmune disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. It inhibits tumor necrosis factor (TNF), reducing inflammation and pain. Etanercept is effective in managing chronic inflammatory conditions. In summary, it significantly improves symptoms of autoimmune diseases.
Etanercept binds to TNF-α and TNF-β, preventing their interaction with cell surface receptors and inhibiting inflammatory responses.
