There is no information available regarding the overdose of risankizumab.
IL-23 is made up of two subunits, p19 and p40: p19 is specific to IL-23 and p40 is present on both IL-12 and IL-23.[A177601] Risankizumab binds to the p19 subunit of IL-23 with high affinity [A177601] and neutralizes it, thereby preventing its interaction with the IL-23 receptor and activation of IL-23 signalling cascades.[A254716]
How the body processes this drug — absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination
[L39885]
In subjects with Crohn’s disease treated with 600 mg intravenous induction dose at Weeks 0, 4, and 8, followed by 180 mg or 360 mg subcutaneous maintenance dose at Week 12 and every 8 weeks thereafter, the median Cmax and Ctrough are estimated to be 156 mcg/mL and 38.8 mcg/mL, respectively, during Weeks 8-12; and the steady state median Cmax and Ctrough are estimated to be 14.0 mcg/mL and 4.1 mcg/mL, respectively for 180 mg or 28.0 mcg/mL and 8.1 mcg/mL, respectively, for 360 mg, during Weeks 40-48.
[L39885]
The absolute bioavailability of risankizumab was approximately 74 to 89% following subcutaneous injection. In healthy subjects, following administration of a single subcutaneous dose, Cmax was reached by 3 to 14 days.

Proteins and enzymes this drug interacts with in the body
PMID:11114383
Released by antigen-presenting cells such as dendritic cells or macrophages, binds to a heterodimeric receptor complex composed of IL12RB1 and IL23R to activate JAK2 and TYK2 which then phosphorylate the receptor to form a docking site leading to the phosphorylation of STAT3 and STAT4 .
PMID:29287995 PMID:32474165 PMID:33606986
This process leads to activation of several pathways including p38 MAPK or NF-kappa-B and promotes the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-17A/IL17A .
PMID:12023369
In turn, participates in the early and effective intracellular bacterial clearance .
PMID:32474165
Promotes the expansion and survival of T-helper 17 cells, a CD4-positive helper T-cell subset that produces IL-17, as well as other IL-17-producing cells PMID:17676044
