Mechanism of action

IL-23 is a key cytokine involved in the pathogenesis of psoriasis, particularly in driving Th17 cell differentiation and skin inflammation. By selectively targeting the p19 subunit of IL-23, tildrakizumab prevents IL-23 signaling while sparing IL-12, which may reduce the risk of certain immune-related adverse events. This mechanism leads to suppression of psoriatic inflammation and improvement in skin lesions.
