Upadacitinib (ABT-494) is a potent, orally active and selective Janus kinase 1 (JAK1) inhibitor (IC50=43 nM). Upadacitinib (ABT-494) displays approximately 74 fold selective for JAK1 over JAK2 (200 nM) in cellular assays dependent on specific, relevant cytokines. Upadacitinib (ABT-494) can be used for several autoimmune disorders research.

    In Vitro

    In biochemical assays, Upadacitinib is 74-fold more selective for JAK-1 than for JAK-2 (which is involved in erythropoiesis) and 58-fold more selective for JAK-1 than for JAK-3 (which is involved in immunosurveillance)[1]. The enhanced selectivity of Upadacitinib for JAK-1 over JAK-2 and JAK-3 may offer an improved benefit–risk profile in patients with RA range[2].

    In Vivo:

    Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

    For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
    To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
    The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
