PubMed Abstract: Aberrant JAK2 signaling is a key driver in cancers such as myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), whereas JAK1 acts as a central mediator of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Since JAK2 supports blood cell production, its inhibition can lead to anemia and other cytopenias, making selective JAK1 inhibition a potentially safer therapeutic strategy opposed to dual JAK1/JAK2 inhibition. We initially identified novel scaffold , which selectively inhibited JAK1 over JAK2. Iterative breakthroughs led to the discovery of povorcitinib (INCB054707, ), which showed improved pharmacokinetics due to intramolecular hydrogen bonding of the amide moiety and a reduced ring size in the hinge binding motif. Protein crystallography suggested that JAK1 selectivity was conferred by the amide's alkyl group accessing a small lipophilic groove formed by the P-loop conformation of JAK1 that was distinct from JAK2. In murine arthritis models, povorcitinib demonstrated dose-dependent efficacy and reduced inflammatory signaling, supporting its therapeutic potential in immunological disorders.
