Oclacitinib is an inhibitor of the JAK family kinases JAK1, JAK2, JAK3, and TYK2 (IC50s = 10, 18, 99, and 84 nM, respectively).1 It is selective for JAK kinases over a panel of 38 additional kinases at 1 μM. Oclacitinib inhibits LPS-induced increases in IL-12 and TNF-α levels in murine bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) in a concentration-dependent manner.2 Topical administration of oclacitinib (0.1, 0.25, and 0.5%) reduces scratching behavior and ear edema, as well as decreases levels of IL-1β, IL-4, and IL-6 in ear skin, in a mouse model of allergic dermatitis induced by toluene-2,3-diisocyanate (TDI). Formulations containing oclacitinib have been used in the treatment of pruritus associated with allergic dermatitis and the control of atopic dermatitis in dogs.
