Abstract
In recent years, the role of interleukin-17 (IL-17) in orchestrating and manipulating proinflammatory immune responses has received special attention. It has become apparent from murine studies and clinical trials that due to its inhibitory effect on immunoregulation and its stimulatory action on promoting proinflammatory responses, IL-17 is an ideal cytokine to target for drug development, in order to cease its induction or eliminate IL-17-producing cells of any kind. Several monoclonal antibodies have been developed and tested as potent inhibitors of IL-17 in various inflammatory diseases. This review summarizes data from relevant clinical trials on recent developments of the application of inhibitors of IL-17 in psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, namely secukinumab, ixekizumab, bimekizumab and brodalumab.
