PRECLINICAL
TOPICAL JAK3
target ProFile
Small-molecule inhibitors of Janus kinase 3 (JAK3) for the topical or ocular treatment or prevention of skin and eye diseases
Specific inhibition of JAK3, which is selectively expressed in immune cells, should provide a
lower potential for dose-limiting toxicity than currently available immunosuppressive drugs
Jak3 Program status
Ligand retains rights to certain JAK3 compounds developed during an alliance with Wyeth/Pfizer for use in the treatment or prevention of skin and eye diseases Multiple compounds that are potent JAK3 inhibitors (IC50 range: 0.1 – 8 nM)
Many with >10-fold selectivity vs JAK2 and other related kinases
Active in cell-based functional assays
Compounds identified that are effective systemically or topically in mouse models of JAK3
inhibition
No safety issues observed in preliminary studies (i genotoxicity, CYP inhibition, hERG
photocytotoxicity, skin irritation)
