Hazard Information

Uses

GLPG-0634 (Filgotinib) is a potent, selective JAK1 inhibitor. Used as an anti-inflammatory agent, it reduces levels of inflammatory cytokines in the bones and tissue of mammals.

Mechanism of action

Filgotinib acts on the JAK-STAT pathway by selectively inhibiting JAK1 phosphorylation and preventing STAT activation, which ultimately results in reduced proinflammatory cytokine signaling.

Side effects

• feeling sick (nausea)
• upper respiratory tract infection
• urinary tract infection.
• dizziness.

Synthesis

The synthesis of Filgotinib is as follows:
With cyclopropanyl chloride in an amidated reaction in a system consisting of N-methylmorpholine and 1,4-dioxane,The amidation reaction time was 4 h,The amidation reaction temperature was 50 ° C,The molar ratio of the intermediate (III), cyclopropanyl chloride, N-methylmorpholine and 1,4-dioxane was 1: 2.8: 2.5:TLC plate to determine the reaction is completed, cooled to room temperature,Adding methylene chloride and water, separating the organic phase with water,Then washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate,Evaporated to dryness and the residue was purified over a silica gel column [elution solvent: ethyl acetate / n-hexane (3: 7 v / v)To obtain a solid yellowish solid,That is, Filgotinib, yield 91.2%.

Questions And Answer

• Description

  Filgotinib (GLPG0634) is a selective JAK1 inhibitor with IC50 of 10 nM, 28 nM, 810 nM, and 116 nM for JAK1, JAK2, JAK3, and TYK2, respectively.;

• In vitro

  In cell lines, GLPG0634 inhibits IL-2- and IL-4-induced JAK1/JAK3/γc signaling and IFN-αB2-induced JAK1/TYK2 type II receptor signaling with IC50 ranged from 150 to 760 nM. GLPG0634 shows higher selectivity for JAK/STAT signaling involving JAK1 than JAK2 kinase in a cellular context. Besides, GLPG0634 also inhibits the differentiation of Th1, Th2, and Th17 cells.;

• In vivo

  Following oral administration, the absolute bioavailability is moderate in rats (45%) and high in mice (～100%). Filgotinib (30 mg/kg daily (Rats); 50 mg/kg twice daily (Mice)) dose-dependently reduces inflammation, cartilage, and bone degradation in the CIA model in rats and mice. Filgotinib (GLPG0634) in DSS-treated mice demonstrates that inhibition of JAK1 is sufficient for achieving strong efficacy in pre-clinical mouse model, correlated to the inhibition of STAT3 phosphorylation in the inflamed colon.;
