How AME-527 works
AME-527 is approximately ten-fold more potent than Remicade(R) in binding to and neutralizing the hTNF-alpha molecule, and 6 to 8-fold more potent than Humira(TM). Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) has a key role in rheumatoid synovitis, as an inflammatory cytokine at the top of the inflammatory cascade. Blocking TNF-alpha with AME-527 or fusion proteins is an important and established disease intervention, validating the role of the cytokine in disease activity and progression.
