MECHANISM OF ACTION
Ruxolitinib is also known as targeted treatment which targets and joints to the tyrosine kinase receptors and prohibits Janus Associated Kinases (JAK1 and JAK2) which Intercede the signaling of several cytokines and growth factors which are important for hematopoiesis and immune function. By irrevocable to these receptors, Ruxolitinib stops important pathways which develop cell division. Myelofibrosis (MF) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) known to be analogue with dysregulated JAK1 and JAK2 signaling. Patients with MF who either carry the JAK2 V617 mutation or does not have the JAK2 V617F mutation may both respond to Ruxolitinib.ADME
