Indications
Ruxolitinib is a kind of kinase inhibitor which is suitable for the treatment of intermediate or high-risk myelofibrosis, including primary myelofibrosis, post-polycythemia Vera myelofibrosis and post essential thrombocythemia myelofibrosis.

Description
In November 2011, the U.S. FDA approved ruxolitinib (INCB018424)
for the treatment of patients with intermediate or high-risk myelofibrosis.
Ruxolitinib is
an ATP-competitive inhibitor of JAK1 and JAK2 (IC50's of 3.3±1.2 nM
and 2.8±1.2 nM, respectively) and inhibition occurs regardless of the
JAK2V617F mutational status. Ruxolitinib is a moderately potent inhibitor
of the related JAK, TYK2 (IC50=19±3.2 nM) but is selective versus
JAK3 (IC50=428±243 nM). It was also selective versus a panel of 26 other
kinases at concentrations approximately 100-fold the IC50 of JAK1 and
JAK2. Inhibition of JAK1 and JAK2 downregulates the JAK-signal transducer
and activator of transcription (STAT) pathway, inhibiting
myeloproliferation, inducing apoptosis, and reducing numerous cytokine
plasma levels.

Uses
Janus-associated kinases (JAKs) are cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases that are required for activating the signaling of certain cytokines and growth factor receptors. A JAK2 gene fusion mutation, JAK2V617F, that causes unchecked activation of various growth factors and cytokines, has been linked to myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), including polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, and primary myelofibrosis. Ruxolitinib is a potent ATP mimetic that inhibits both JAK1 and JAK2 with IC50 values of 2.7 and 4.5 nM, respectively and is relatively less selective for JAK3 (IC50 = 322 nM). It can block interleukin-6 (IL-6) signaling (IC50 = 281 nM) and proliferation of JAK2V617F+ Ba/F3 cells (IC50 = 127 nM). In primary cultures, ruxolitinib preferentially suppresses erythroid progenitor colony formation from JAK2V617F+ polycythemia vera patients (IC50 = 67 nM) versus healthy donors (IC50 > 400 nM). In a mouse model of JAK2V617F+ MPN, 90 mg/kg ruxolitinib reduced splenomegaly, decreased circulating levels of IL-6 and TNF-α, eliminated neoplastic cells, and prolonged survival of the treated animals.[Cayman Chemical] A JAK family kinase inhibitor of JAK1, JAK2 and JAK3 with IC50s of 2.7 nM, 4.5 nM and 322 nM, respectively Ruxolitinib is a selective Janus tyrosine kinase (JAK1 and JAK2) inhibitor used in the treatment of myeloproliferative neoplasms and psoriasis. INCB018424 is the first potent, selective, JAK1/2 inhibitor to enter the clinic with IC50 of 3.3 nM/2.8 nM, >130-fold selectivity for JAK1/2 versus JAK3. Phase 3

Clinical Use
Tyrosine kinase inhibitor:

symptoms in patients with primary myelofibrosis
(MF), post polycythaemia vera (PV) myelofibrosis
or post-essential thrombocythemia myelofibrosis

Drug interactions
Potentially hazardous interactions with other drugs
Antibacterials: concentration increased by
clarithromycin and telithromycin, reduced dose of
ruxolitinib; concentration reduced by rifampicin.
Antifungals: reduce dose of ruxolitinib with
fluconazole, itraconazole, ketoconazole, posaconazole
and voriconazole.
Antipsychotics: avoid with clozapine, risk of
agranulocytosis.
Antivirals: reduce dose of ruxolitinib with
boceprevir, indinavir, lopinavir, ritonavir, saquinavir
and telaprevir.
