Drug Overview
Xeljanz (tofacitinib; Pfizer/Takeda) is an oral small molecule inhibitor of Janus kinases (JAKs). The drug prevents the binding of cytokines to JAKs, which in turn blocks the JAK/STAT signaling pathway required to activate the gene expression in various immune cells. Xeljanz also impairs the differentiation of critical immune cells such as T helper cells.
