Small molecule JAK inhibitors have been demonstrated efficacy in rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, and psoriasis with the approval of several drugs. Aiming to develop potent JAK1/2 inhibitors, two series of triazolo [1,5-a] pyridine derivatives were designed and synthesized by various strategies. The pharmacological results identified the optimized compounds J-4 and J-6, which exerted high potency against JAK1/2, and selectivity over JAK3 in enzyme assays. Furthermore, J-4 and J-6 effectively suppressed proliferation of JAK1/2 high-expression BaF3 cells accompanied with acceptable metabolic stability in liver microsomes. Therefore, J-4 and J-6 might serve as promising JAK1/2 inhibitors for further investigation.

Background: Vitiligo is a chronic autoimmune disease manifested by depigmented patches of skin devoid of melanocytes. Baricitinib, a JAK inhibitor selectively targeting JAK1/2, has shown preliminary efficacy for vitiligo. We aimed to assess the efficacy and tolerability of combination therapy with baricitinib and narrowband UV-B (NB-UVB) to treat active nonsegmental vitiligo (NSV).

Although several case reports and small clinical trials have reported promising outcomes with Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors for vitiligo, high-quality evidence and guidelines are lacking. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of JAK inhibitors for the treatment of vitiligo using a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). We searched the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases up to August 2023, with additional studies from ClinicalTrials.

Sjögren's disease (SjD) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by progressive salivary and lacrimal gland dysfunction, inflammation, and destruction, as well as extraglandular manifestations. SjD is associated with autoreactive B and T cells, but its pathophysiology remains incompletely understood. Abnormalities in regulatory T (T) cells occur in several autoimmune diseases, but their role in SjD is ambiguous.

CRLF2 rearrangements occur in >50% of Ph-like and Down syndrome (DS)-associated B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and induce constitutive kinase signaling targetable by the JAK1/2 inhibitor ruxolitinib under current clinical investigation. While chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CART) immunotherapies have achieved remarkable remission rates in children with relapsed/refractory B-ALL, ~50% of CD19CART-treated patients relapse again, many with CD19 antigen loss. We previously reported preclinical activity of thymic stromal lymphopoietin receptor-targeted cellular immunotherapy (TSLPRCART) against CRLF2-overexpressing ALL as an alternative approach.

Molecules with optimized pharmacokinetic properties selectively aimed at the inhibition of STAT3 phosphorylation in brain have recently emerged as potential disease modifying therapies for epilepsy. In the current study, pharmacological inhibition of JAK1/2 with the orally available, FDA-approved drug ruxolitinib, produced nearly complete inhibition of hippocampal STAT3 phosphorylation, and reduced the expression of its downstream target Cyclin D1, when administered to rats 30 ​min and 3 ​h after onset of pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus (SE). This effect was accompanied by significantly shorter seizure duration and lower overall seizure frequency throughout the 4 weeks of EEG recording, but did not completely prevent the development of epilepsy in ruxolitinib-treated male rats.
