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.
Janus kinase 3 inhibitors work by inhibiting the action of the enzyme Janus kinase 3, thereby interfering with the JAK-STAT signaling pathway.JAK3 is required for signaling by cytokines through the common γ chain of the interleukin receptors for IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-9, IL-15, and IL-21. [4]
Deuruxolitinib, sold under the brand name Leqselvi, is a medication used for the treatment of alopecia areata. [1] It is a Janus kinase inhibitor selective for JAK1 and JAK2 . [ 2 ] Although the relative effectiveness of deuruxolitinib and another Janus kinase inhibitor— baricitinib —for alopecia areata may vary depending on the population ...
