Canakinumab  (Synonyms: Ilaris; ACZ 885)

Canakinumab (ACZ885) is a recombinant human anti-IL-1β monoclonal antibody. Canakinumab shows IC₅₀ values of 43.6 and 40.8 pM for human and marmoset IL-1β, respectively. The mode of action of canakinumab is based on the neutralization of IL-1β signaling, resulting in suppression of inflammation related to disorders of autoimmune origin^[1][2].

Canakinumab (0-7 nM) dose dependently represses IL-6 production in marmoset peripheral blood mononuclear cells with IC₅₀s of 43.6 and 40.8 pM for human and marmoset IL-1β^[2]. Canakinumab effectively competes with IL-1RI and IL-1RII for binding to IL-1b^[2].
