Description: Ruxolitinib, also known as INC424 and INCB18424 or INCB018424, is an orally bioavailable 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.

More Info:

Biological target: Ruxolitinib is a potent and selective JAK1/2 inhibitor with IC50s of 3.3 nM and 2.8 nM in cell-free assays, and has 130-fold selectivity for JAK1/2 over JAK3. Ruxolitinib induces autophagy and kills tumor cells through toxic mitophagy.
In vitro activity: Ruxolitinib exhibited significant in vitro activity against Nalm-6 cells. It dose-dependently inhibited cell proliferation, induced cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 phase, and promoted apoptosis in MLL-r ALL cells. Ruxolitinib inactivated the JAK/STAT signaling pathway, contributing to its anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects. Ruxolitinib is a promising therapeutic agent for MLL-r leukemia. Reference: Transl Pediatr. 2023 Jun 30;12(6):1088-1097. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37427069/
In vivo activity: Ruxolitinib was administered to a patient with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) characterized by EBV infection within CD8+ T cells. Ruxolitinib treatment led to the resolution of symptoms and improvement in HLH parameters, demonstrating its in vivo activity in controlling EBV-associated HLH, particularly in cases where rituximab and corticosteroids may be insufficient.
