Description
Baricitinib (1187594-09-7), approved by the FDA for two inflammatory disorders, rheumatoid arthritis and alopecia areata, selectively inhibits Janus kinase 1 (IC50?= 5.9 nM) and 2 (5.7 nM), over 3 (0.56 μM).1?It thereby blocks JAK/STAT signaling, reducing cytokine release and suppressing the innate and adaptive immune systems.1,2?Was recently shown to significantly improve COVID-19 symptoms in a preliminary human trial, presumably through suppression of the cytokine release syndrome (“cytokine storm”) induced by SARS-CoV-2 infection.3
-
Uses
Baricitinib is a JAK1 and JAK2 inhibitor and have been used as a promising treatment for rheumatoid arthritis.
-
Clinical Use
Janus kinase inhibitor:
Treatment of moderate to severe active rheumatoid
arthritis
-
Drug interactions
Potentially hazardous interactions with other drugs
Avoid with other DMARDs due to increased
immunosuppression. Use with care with other immunosuppressants.
Antipsychotics: increased risk of agranulocytosis
with clozapine - avoid.
Live vaccines: avoid concomitant use
