Compound class: Antibody
Comment: Mirikizumab (LY-3074828) is a humanized monoclonal antibody against human IL-23A (IL-23p19) which is designed for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. It is one of the novel agents for immune-mediated inflammatory diseases discussed in Baker et al. (2018) [1]. The peptide sequences of mirikizumab heavy and light chains are 100% matches to sequences 9 and 10 of Antibody I that is claimed in patent US9023358 [2].
Bioactivity Comments
Mirikizumab (Antibody I) binds monkey IL-23 with a Kd of 0.056nM, and rabbit IL-23 with a Kd of 53nM, but does not bind rat or mouse IL-23 or human IL-12, IL-27 or IL-35 [2]. Antibody I blocks binding of IL-23 to the IL-23R in vitro, but does not inhibit IL-23 binding to IL-12Rβ1 (the other subunit of the functional IL-23R heterodimer). Effects of Antibody I in vivo are described in the associated patent documentation [2].
