摘要:
The dramatic benefit experienced by many Crohn's patients treated with the anti-tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) antibody infliximab underscores the centrality of this cytokine in the pathogenesis of Crohn's disease and the potential use of the therapeutic strategy of blocking TNF-alpha in this disease. In the hopes of emulating and improving on the success of infliximab, numerous strategies are being devised and studied to inhibit the actions of TNF-alpha. This article focuses on those agents, other than infliximab, which target TNF-alpha to treat inflammatory bowel disease as their central mechanism of action.
