Applications

Immunosuppressant; JAK1/2 inhibitor

Functions

Baricitinib, 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). It thereby blocks JAK/STAT signaling, reducing cytokine release and suppressing the innate and adaptive immune systems. 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.

Application Procedures

First dissolved in DMSO (up to at least 30 mg/ml) or DMF (up to at least 50 mg/ml), then diluted to aqueous buffer. Solutions in DMSO or DMF may be stored at -20°C for up to 3 months.

Research use only.
