Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/dhp-mps/prodpharma/sbd-smd/drug-med/sbd_smd_2012_jakavi_151723-eng.php; https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19385672; http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20160406005608/en/Incyte-Acquires-Rights-Lilly-Develop-Commercialize-Ruxolitinib

Ruxolitinib (trade names Jakafi and Jakavi, by Incyte Pharmaceuticals and Novartis) is a drug for the treatment of intermediate or high-risk myelofibrosis, a type of myeloproliferative disorder that affects the bone marrow. It is also being investigated for the treatment of other types of cancer (such as lymphomas and pancreatic cancer), for polycythemia vera, for plaque psoriasis, and for alopecia areata. Myelofibrosis (MF) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) known to be associated with dysregulated JAK1 and JAK2 signaling. Ruxolitinib is a Janus-associated kinase (JAK) inhibitor with potential antineoplastic and immunomodulating activities. Ruxolitinib specifically binds to and inhibits protein tyrosine kinases JAK 1 and 2, which may lead to a reduction in inflammation and an inhibition of cellular proliferation. The JAK-STAT (signal transducer and activator of transcription) pathway plays a key role in the signaling of many cytokines and growth factors and is involved in cellular proliferation, growth, hematopoiesis, and the immune response; JAK kinases may be upregulated in inflammatory diseases, myeloproliferative disorders, and various malignancies. In a mouse model of JAK2V617F-positive MPN, ruxolitinib prevented splenomegaly, preferentially decreased JAK2V617F mutant cells in the spleen and decreased circulating inflammatory cytokines (eg, TNF-α, IL-6). Ruxolitinib was initially synthesized at Incyte Corporation that acquired the rights to develop and commercialize the drug in US. Incyte amended its Collaboration and License Agreement with Novartis, granting Novartis exclusive research, development and commercialization rights for ruxolitinib outside the U.S.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: Ruxolitinib and its metabolites crossed the blood brain barrier (<10% of plasma concentrations) and placental barrier of rats.

Comment: 3A4 is the predominant human CYP isozyme responsible for the metabolism of ruxolitinib. Systemic co-administration of oral ketoconazole, a potent CYP3A4 inhibitor, resulted in a 91% increase of plasma AUC, whereas erythromycin, a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor, caused a 27% increase in exposure.

Sample Use Guides

20 mg given orally twice daily for patients with a platelet count greater than 200 X 10^9/L, and 15 mg twice daily for patients with a platelet count between 100 X 10^9/L and 200 X 10^9/L
Route of Administration: Oral
Ba/F3 cells and HEL cells were used to evaluate the effects of INCB018424 on viability and JAK-mediated signaling. Cells were treated with increasing concentrations of INCB018424 in the concentration range of 3-3000 nM for 2.5 hours, and extracts from these cells were subjected to immunoblot analysis for phosphorylated or total forms of proteins associated with the JAK/STAT signaling pathway..
