Tofacitinib, a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor, has emerged as a primary therapeutic agent for managing autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, dermatitis and ulcerative colitis. By inhibiting the phosphorylation of JAK enzymes, tofacitinib prevents their activation within the JAK-STAT signaling pathway, which is vital for inflammatory responses. However, the tofacitinib delivery presents significant challenges, including pH-dependent solubility, poor permeability and susceptibility to oral degradation.

Tofacitinib (Tof), a commercially available pan-Janus kinases inhibitor, is approved for the treatment of moderate to severe ulcerative colitis. However, its clinical application is limited due to dose-dependent systemic side effects. The present study aims to develop an efficient oral colon-targeted drug delivery systems using prebiotic pectin (Pcn) and chitosan (Csn) polysaccharides as a shell, with Tof loaded into a Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) core, and improving it with chondroitin sulfate (Chs), thus constructing Tof@BSA-Chs-CP nanoparticles (NPs).
