Filgotinib

Chemical formula: C₂₁H₂₃N₅O₃S  Molecular mass: 425.51 g/mol 

Active ingredient description

Filgotinib is an adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-competitive and reversible inhibitor of the JAK family. Within the signalling pathway, JAKs phosphorylate and activate signal transducers and activators of transcription (STATs) which modulate intracellular activity including gene expression. Filgotinib modulates these signalling pathways by preventing the phosphorylation and activation of STATs. Filgotinib is indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis in adult patients.
