Deucravacitinib (hydrochloride)
Based on 35 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Deucravacitinib (BMS-986165) hydrochloride is an orally active allosteric inhibitor of tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2), with an IC50 of 0.2 nM and a Ki of 0.02 nM against the JH2 domain of TYK2, and it exhibits selectivity over other JAK subtypes and most of the kinome. Deucravacitinib hydrochloride blocks IL-23, IL-12, p-STAT1/3 and Type I IFN signaling, and inhibits Th17/Th1-mediated psoriasis inflammation. Deucravacitinib hydrochloride can be used in research related to moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease and systemic lupus erythematosus.

Biological Activity
Deucravacitinib hydrochloride potently inhibits TYK2-dependent IFNα-induced STAT5 phosphorylation in human CD3+ T cells, with an IC50 of 2 nM[2].
Deucravacitinib hydrochloride potently inhibits TYK2-dependent IL-23-induced STAT3 phosphorylation in human CD161+ CD3+ T cells, with an IC50 of 9 nM[2].

Animal Model:C57BL/6 (PK studies; IL-23-driven acanthosis psoriasis model)[2]
-
Dosage:7.5 mg/kg; 15 mg/kg; 30 mg/kg
-
Administration:p.o.; twice daily; 9 days
-
Result:Reduced ear thickness increase relative to vehicle, inhibited epidermal hyperplasia and inflammatory cellular infiltration, and dose-dependently reduced relative gene expression of IL-17a, IL-21, IL-23a, IL-23R, IL-12 (p35), and IL-12 (p40) in skin biopsies at 7.5 mg/kg twice daily.
Maintained drug levels at or above mouse whole blood IC50 (100 nM) for 19 hours at 7.5 mg/kg twice daily.
Achieved ear thickness inhibition equivalent to the anti-IL-23 adnectin positive control, reduced epidermal hyperplasia and inflammatory cellular infiltration, showed greater reduction of cytokine gene expression than the 7.5 mg/kg dose, and maintained drug levels at or above mouse whole blood IC50 for 21 hours at 15 mg/kg twice daily.
Provided greater ear thickness protection than the anti-IL-23 adnectin, more effectively inhibited epidermal hyperplasia and inflammatory cellular infiltration than the positive control, showed the greatest reduction of cytokine gene expression across all doses, and maintained drug levels at or above mouse whole blood IC50 for 24 hours at 30 mg/kg twice daily.
-
Animal Model:NZB/W (spontaneous lupus-prone nephritis model; treated for three months)[2]
-
Dosage:30 mg/kg
-
Administration:p.o.; once daily; three months
-
Result:Was well-tolerated, highly efficacious in protecting against nephritis, inhibited type I IFN-dependent gene expression in whole blood and kidneys, and was at least as effective as a blocking anti-IFNαR antibody control; efficacy correlated with coverage of the whole blood IC50 over dosing intervals.
