| Description: |
Tofacitinib is a JAK1/2/3 inhibitor with IC50s of 1, 20, and 112 nM, respectively. |
| In Vivo: |
Animals that are treated with Tofacitinib show a significantly lower production of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) compare with PEG-treated control mice (for five weeks after initial immunization, p<0.01, n=8). Moreover ADAs become detectable earliest on day 28. A difference of 1000- to 200-fold in titers to SS1P is apparent from days 21 through 35, respectively. Compare to SS1P, mice injected with keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) generate a more rapid antibody response. Yet, the administration of Tofacitinib reduces anti-KLH titers compare to controls (p<0.05 on day 21, p<0.01 on day 28, respectively, n=5). Reductions in titers ranged from 5000- to 250-fold from days 21 through 28, respectively[2]. Based on previous dose-response studies, a daily dose of Tofacitinib of 6.2 mg/kg is selected to provide 80% inhibition of hind paw volume and plasma exposure capable of suppressing the JAK1 and JAK3 signaling pathways for >4 hours[3]. |
| In Vitro: |
Tofacitinib (CP-690550) citrate binds potentially at JAK3 and JAK2 as 2.2 nM and 5 nM (Kd). The report includes additional binding for Tofacitinib at Camk1 (Kd of 5,000 nM), DCamkL3 (Kd of 4.5 nM), Mst2 (Kd of 4,300 nM), Pkn1 (Kd of 200 nM), Rps6ka2 (Kin.Dom.2-C-terminal) (Kd of 1,400 nM), Rps6ka6 (Kin.Dom.2-C-terminal) (Kd of 1,200 nM), Snark (Kd of 420 nM), Tnk1 (Kd of 640 nM) and Tyk2 (Kd of 620 nM)[1]. |
