JYSELECA is a once-daily, oral JAK1 inhibitor1,2

JAK1-preferential inhibition

JYSELECA is a JAK1-preferential inhibitor with more than five-fold higher potency for JAK1 over other JAK isoforms, as measured in biochemical assays, the clinical relevance of which is uncertain1,2


Proinflammatory cytokine signalling via JAK1-containing protein complexes has been implicated in UC pathogenesis3,4


In human cellular assays, JYSELECA preferentially inhibited JAK1/JAK3-, JAK1/JAK2- and JAK1/TYK2-mediated signalling, with functional selectivity over cytokine receptors that signal via pairs of JAK2 or JAK2/TYK25


The relevance of inhibition of specific JAK enzymes to therapeutic effectiveness is not currently known


MoA, mode of action; JAK, Janus kinase; TYK, tyrosine kinase; UC, ulcerative colitis.
