Оклацитиниб

Описание

Oclacitinib is an oral JAK inhibitor that is a drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in canine atopic dermatitis (AD). The U.S. FDA and the European Medical Association have approved a number of JAK inhibitors, including baricitinib, ruxolitinib, federatinib, tofacitinib, upadacitinib, oclacitinib, but some of these drugs are still being studied. Oclacitinib mainly shows activity against JAK1-dependent cytokines and also inhibits the function of JAK2-dependent cytokines. oclacitinib modifies the production of cytokines such as IL-4 and IL-13, which are crucial for B-cell proliferation and maturation in the pathogenesis of pemphigus foliaceus. Oclacitinib could interdict the effects of IL-6, a cytokine involved in the Toll-like receptor 4-originated signaling pathway in the bladder epithelial cells, and IL-8, which could theoretically contribute to a decreased defense against the urinary pathogens[1-4].
