Medication used for the treatment of gastro-intestinal diseases
Vedolizumab , sold under the brand name Entyvio , is a monoclonal antibody medication developed by Takeda Oncology for the treatment of ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease .[ 5] It binds to integrin α4 β7 (LPAM-1 , lymphocyte Peyer's patch adhesion molecule 1, a dimer of Integrin alpha-4 and Integrin beta-7 ),[ 5] [ 6] blocking the α4 β7 integrin results in gut-selective anti-inflammatory activity.[ 7]
