A Janus kinase inhibitor, also known as JAK inhibitor or jakinib, [1] is a type of immune modulating medication, which inhibits the activity of one or more of the Janus kinase family of enzymes (JAK1, JAK2, JAK3, TYK2), thereby interfering with the JAK-STAT signaling pathway in lymphocytes.
Janus kinase (JAK) is a family of intracellular, non-receptor tyrosine kinases that transduce cytokine-mediated signals via the JAK-STAT pathway. They were initially named " just another kinase " 1 and 2 (since they were just two of many discoveries in a PCR -based screen of kinases), [ 1 ] but were ultimately published as "Janus kinase".
Janus kinase 3 inhibitors, also called JAK3 inhibitors, are a new class of immunomodulatory agents that inhibit Janus kinase 3. They are used for the treatment of autoimmune diseases . The Janus kinases are a family of four nonreceptor tyrosine-protein kinases, JAK1 , JAK2 , JAK3 , and TYK2 .
This is a list of roots, suffixes, and prefixes used in medical terminology, their meanings, and their etymologies. Most of them are combining forms in Neo-Latin and hence international scientific vocabulary. There are a few general rules about how they combine.

If JAK inhibitors can show similarly impressive results, gain approval, and make a splash, then these blockbuster biologics could have some real competition. While the future is promising that "if ...
The FDA approved AbbVie Inc's (NYSE: ABBV) Rinvoq (upadacitinib; 15 mg) for active psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Like Pfizer Inc's (NYSE: PFE) approval for Xeljanz, Rinvoq's approval also covers ...
The term was originally introduced to indicate a drug that reduces evidence of processes thought to underlie the disease, such as a raised erythrocyte sedimentation rate, reduced haemoglobin level, raised rheumatoid factor level, and more recently, a raised C-reactive protein level.
