Mechanism of action

Infliximab is a TNF-α inhibitor monoclonal antibody that blocks tumor necrosis factor-alpha, a key inflammatory cytokine. Methotrexate is an antimetabolite that inhibits dihydrofolate reductase and reduces T-cell proliferation. Methylprednisolone is a corticosteroid that broadly suppresses immune activation. Together, these agents provide multi-modal immunosuppression for severe inflammatory conditions.
