Izencitinib (TD-1473) is an orally active, non-selective and gut-restricted JAK inhibitor. Izencitinib (TD-1473) can be used in the study for ulcerative colitis[1].
Izencitinib (TD-1473) inhibits cytokine-evoked STAT phosphorylation in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and in a human colonic epithelial cell line (pIC50 ≥ 6.7)[1].Izencitinib (TD-1473) is a potent JAK1, JAK2, JAK3, and TYK2 inhibitor at the human JAK kinase domains (pKi values of 10.0, 10.0, 8.8, and 9.5, respectively)[1].
Izencitinib (TD-1473, 1 mg/kg BID) preserves body weight and reduced occult blood scores in a mouse oxazolone colitis model[1].
