The development of anti Tumor nacrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) therapies is an alternative to the existing treatments of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). These anti TNF-α therapeutics aim to inhibit the inflammatory activities of TNF-α, which is the major cytokine causing the disease RA. Biologic agents are the newest forms of drugs to treat RA among the disease modifying anti rheumatic drugs (DMARDs). Though, these biologics do not cure the disease, but certainly slow down the progression of the disease with less risk. There are several monoclonal antibody based drugs and fusion proteins which are found to be remarkably successful in this regard. However, comparing the safety concern and immunogenic reactions of these therapeutics this review highlights on further improvements and efficacy of these drugs by subsiding the side effects.
