What is Tofacitinib?

Tofacitinib is an orally available Janus kinases (JAK) inhibitor used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and ulcerative colitis. This drug is sold under the common name Xeljanz. JAKs are intracellular, nonreceptor tyrosine kinases that propagate inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis. Tofacitinib suppresses this inflammation by activating transcription signal transducers and activators, thereby relieving arthritis problems.
