Adalimumab trade name Humira is a TNF inhibiting anti-inflammatory drug. AbbVie’s trade name is derived from the acronym of human monoclonal antibody in rheumatoid arthritis (HUMIRA). Adalimumab binds to tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα) preventing it from activating TNF receptors; TNFα inactivation has proven to be important in downregulating the inflammatory reactions associated with autoimmune diseases.
