Description
Baricitinib is a selective and reversible Janus kinase 1 (JAK1) and 2 (JAK2) inhibitor. Janus kinases belong to the tyrosine-protein kinase family.
They play a crucial role in the proinflammatory pathway signaling that is frequently over-activated in rheumatoid arthritis. By blocking the actions of JAK1/2, Baricitinib tablet 2mg works to disrupt the activation of downstream signaling molecules and proinflammatory mediators.
Baricitinib works by inhibiting IL-6-induced STAT3 phosphorylation. Baricitinib administration results in a dose-dependent inhibition of IL-6-induced STAT3 phosphorylation in whole blood from healthy subjects with maximal inhibition observed approximately 1 hour after dosing, which returned to near baseline by 24 hours.
Similar levels of inhibition were seen using either IL-6 or TPO as the stimulus.
