Ruxolitinib is a potent and selective JAK1&2 inhibitor with IC50s=2.7, 4.5 and 322 nM for JAK1, JAK2 and JAK3 respectively (1). This compound blocks IL-6 signaling (IC50=281 nM) and proliferation of JAK2V617F+ Ba/F3 cells (IC50=127 nM) (2) and inhibits the proinflammatory secretome of senescent cells (3). The JAK1 S646P mutant is highly sensitive to ruxolitinib (4). It is a clinically relevant cancer chemotherapeutic.
