Interleukin-6 Inhibitor-Induced Leukocytoclastic Vasculitis: A Case Report With a Literature Review [PDF]
Background Leukocytoclastic vasculitis (LCV) is a known hypersensitivity reaction to biologic agents, often linked to tumor necrosis factor‐α (TNF‐α)inhibitors. We present a rare case of LCV in a patient receiving tocilizumab, a monoclonal antibody directed against interleukin‐6 (IL‐6)receptor.

Interleukin-6 inhibitor : tocilizumab
Inhibitors of interleukin-6 (IL-6) are proteins which decrease the actions of the inflammatory cytokine, IL-6. Clinically, tocilizumab is the major inhibitor of IL-6.

In vitro selection of an RNA aptamer yields an interleukin-6/interleukin-6 receptor interaction inhibitor [PDF]
ABSTRACT Interleukin-6 (IL-6) binds to the IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) subunit, related to autoimmune diseases and cytokine storm in COVID-19. In this study, we performed systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment and identified a novel RNA aptamer. This RNA aptamer not only bound to IL-6R with a dissociation constant of 200 n m,
