In Vitro
Tofacitinib (CP-690550) citrate binds potentially at JAK3 and JAK2 as 2.2 nM and 5 nM (Kd). The report includes additional binding for Tofacitinib at Camk1 (Kd of 5,000 nM), DCamkL3 (Kd of 4.5 nM), Mst2 (Kd of 4,300 nM), Pkn1 (Kd of 200 nM), Rps6ka2 (Kin.Dom.2-C-terminal) (Kd of 1,400 nM), Rps6ka6 (Kin.Dom.2-C-terminal) (Kd of 1,200 nM), Snark (Kd of 420 nM), Tnk1 (Kd of 640 nM) and Tyk2 (Kd of 620 nM)[1]. K562, KCL22, and THP-1 cells are exposed to different doses of STI571 or JAK inhibitors for 72 h to quantify the effects of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) activity. Cell growth inhibition is then evaluated using the MTT assay. The proliferation of K562 and KCL22 cells, but not THP-1 cells, is inhibited by IMA in a concentration-dependent manner. The IC50 value of IMA is 0.28 μM for K562 and 0.17 μM for KCL22. Although treatment with Tofacitinib (TOF) or INCB018424 alone does not suppress cell proliferation, both Tofacitinib and INCB018424 make the K562 and KCL22 more sensitive to IMA[4].

Tofacitinib citrate Related Antibodies
In Vivo
Animals that are treated with Tofacitinib show a significantly lower production of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) compare with PEG-treated control mice (for five weeks after initial immunization, p<0.01, n=8). Moreover ADAs become detectable earliest on day 28. A difference of 1000- to 200-fold in titers to SS1P is apparent from days 21 through 35, respectively. Compare to SS1P, mice injected with keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) generate a more rapid antibody response. Yet, the administration of Tofacitinib reduces anti-KLH titers compare to controls (p<0.05 on day 21, p<0.01 on day 28, respectively, n=5). Reductions in titers ranged from 5000- to 250-fold from days 21 through 28, respectively[2]. Based on previous dose-response studies, a daily dose of Tofacitinib of 6.2 mg/kg is selected to provide 80% inhibition of hind paw volume and plasma exposure capable of suppressing the JAK1 and JAK3 signaling pathways for >4 hours[3].

To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day. The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly.
It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time. The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution.
If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation,
heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

Cell Assay
[4]
Cell survival assay is performed using MTT. Briefly, K562, KCL22, and THP-1 cells (1×105 cells/well) are plated onto 96-well microplates and treated with or without IMA (0.06-1.0 μM) and/or Tofacitinib (10-1,000 nM) or RUX (10-1,000 nM) for 72 h at 37°C in a humidified 5% (v/v) CO2 atmosphere. The medium (200 µL) is then incubated with 10 µL of 5 mg/ml MTT solution for 4 h at 37°C. After being centrifuged at 352 g for 5 min, the culture medium is removed, and 100 µL of DMSO are added to each well to dissolve the formazan. Absorbance is measured at 570 nm using a microplate reader. The results are expressed as percentages[4].

Animal Administration
[2][3]
Mice[2] Female BALB/c mice (6-8 weeks old) are used. Mice receive Tofacitinib in PEG300 (100 mg/mL) or vehicle alone (PEG300) by osmotic pump infusion (0.25 μL/hour, 28 days). Four days prior to immunization, mice are anesthetized and their dorsal surface is shaved. A one cm incision is made on the back to create a subcutaneous pocket and insert the pump. The incision site is closed with wound clips. Mice are injected weekly (i.p.) with SS1P recombinant immunotoxin (RIT; 5 μg/mouse) beginning on day 0; control mice received injections of saline alone. Every week before SS1P or vehicle immunization, 50 μL of blood is drawn to obtain serum samples. Sera are stored at -80°C until analyzed. Rats[3] Adjuvant-induced arthritis (AIA) is induced in female Lewis rats. Rats are randomized according to hind paw volume and assigned to Tofacitinib or vehicle treatment regimens. Groups of 7-8 rats per treatment group, and normal naive rats (n=4 per group), are euthanized either 4 hours, 4 days, or 7 days after beginning treatment (days 16, 20, and 23 after immunization, respectively). Once-daily oral administration of vehicle or Tofacitinib (6.2 mg/kg) is initiated on day 16 following immunization and continued through day 23. Paw volumes are reassessed 4 and 7 days after the beginning of treatment (days 20 and 23 after immunization, respectively). For micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) imaging, as well as tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining in paw tissue, AIA is induced in a separate cohort of Lewis rats.

Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
