[10] [11] Upadacitinib is a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor that works by blocking the action of enzymes called Janus kinases. [ 10 ] [ 14 ] [ 11 ] These enzymes are involved in setting up processes that lead to inflammation, and blocking their effect brings inflammation in the joints under control.
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.
It is a selective inhibitor of the enzyme janus kinase 1 (JAK1). [15] It inhibits JAK1 by 28 fold of selectivity over JAK2 and more than 340 fold of selectivity over JAK3. Two mechanisms are involved in atopic dermatitis, one involves epidermal barrier disruptions, and the other one is cutaneous inflammation due to the immune system over response.
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 ...
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 .
The US Food and Drug Administration has placed its most serious warning – a so-called black-box warning – on a drug used to relieve menopausal hot flashes. The FDA says women who are taking ...

Ruxolitinib (sold under the brand names Jakafi and Jakavi among others, and as Opzelura in cream form) is a medication used for the treatment of intermediate or high-risk myelofibrosis, [6] a type of myeloproliferative neoplasm that affects the bone marrow; [11] [12] polycythemia vera, when there has been an inadequate response to or intolerance of hydroxyurea; [6] [13] and steroid-refractory ...
