Ruxolitinib, Phosphate Salt (INCB018424, INCB18424, NCB018424, NCB18424, Jakafi, CAS 1092939-17-7), >99%

LC Laboratories' Product Number R-6688 - Ruxolitinib, Phosphate Salt (INCB018424, INCB18424, NCB018424, NCB18424, Jakafi, CAS 1092939-17-7), >99% - for research use only. Ruxolitinib, also known as INCB18424, is a potent and selective Janus kinase JAK1 and JAK2 inhibitor, with IC50s of 2.7 and 4.5 nM, respectively. This product is the phosphate salt form of ruxolitinib. We also offer the free base form; please see Ruxolitinib, Free Base, Cat. No. R-6600. The phosphate salt form of ruxolitinib is used for some or all ruxolitinib formulations for use in humans. Ruxolitinib suppressed interleukin-6 signaling (IC50 = 281 nM) and proliferation of JAK2V617F+ Ba/F3 cells (IC50 = 127 nM). In primary cell cultures, ruxolitinib more selectively inhibited erythroid progenitor colony formation from JAK2V617F+ polycythemia vera patients (IC50 = 67 nM) when compared to healthy donors (IC50 > 400 nM). In a mouse model of JAK2V617F+ myeloproliferative neoplasm, ruxolitinib significantly reduced splenomegaly and circulating levels of inflammatory cytokines, selectively eliminated neoplastic cells, and thus markedly prolonged survival without myelosuppressive or immunosuppressive effects. Ruxolitinib inhibited phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) in patients with wild-type JAK2 and in patients with the JAK2 V617F mutation. Ruxolitinib reduced the spleen size of the patients with myelofibrosis with or without JAK2 V617F. It also rapidly improved symptoms, including weight loss, fatigue, night sweats, and pruritus. Clinical improvements were associated with significantly reduced levels of circulating inflammatory cytokines. Ruxolitinib inhibited JAK1 and JAK2, with IC50 values of 5.9 nM and 5.7 nM, respectively. It inhibited IL-6 and IL-23 effects at concentrations less than 50 nM. Ruxolitinib was effective in the rat adjuvant arthritis model and multiple murine models of arthritis. Ruxolitinib had intriguing results in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis by inhibiting inflammatory cytokine signaling, possibly through JAK1 suppression. Ruxolitinib phosphate is the active ingredient in the drug sold under the trade name Jakafi® by Incyte Corporation. Jakafi® is currently approved in at least one country for use in patients with intermediate or high-risk myelofibrosis, including primary myelofibrosis, post-polycythemia vera myelofibrosis and post-essential thrombocythemia myelofibrosis.
