Biological Activity
Upadacitinib (ABT-494) is a potent and selective Janus kinase (JAK) 1 inhibitor with an IC50 of 43 nM, being developed for the treatment of several autoimmune disorders.
In Vitro
In biochemical assays, Upadacitinib is 74-fold more selective for JAK-1 than for JAK-2 (which is involved in erythropoiesis) and 58-fold more selective for JAK-1 than for JAK-3 (which is involved in immunosurveillance)[1].. The enhanced selectivity of Upadacitinib for JAK-1 over JAK-2 and JAK-3 may offer an improved benefit–risk profile in patients with RA range[2].
