IMPOYZ vs TYZAVAN
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
IMPOYZ is a monoclonal antibody that binds to and inhibits the activity of interleukin-23 (IL-23), a cytokine involved in inflammatory and immune responses. By blocking IL-23, it reduces the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and attenuates the inflammatory cascade.
Levodopa is converted to dopamine in the brain, replenishing depleted dopamine levels in the striatum, improving motor function. Carbidopa inhibits peripheral decarboxylation of levodopa, increasing its central availability.

Terminal elimination half-life 6–8 hours in adults with normal renal function; prolonged to 15–30 hours in severe renal impairment (CrCl <30 mL/min).
Terminal elimination half-life is 12–15 hours in patients with normal renal function; prolonged to 30–50 hours in severe renal impairment (CrCl <30 mL/min).
Primarily renal (70–80% as unchanged drug via glomerular filtration and tubular secretion); biliary/fecal (15–20%) with minor hepatic metabolism.
Renal excretion (70–80% unchanged); biliary/fecal excretion accounts for 15–20% as metabolites.
