Baricitinib Phosphate
Definition:
Baricitinib phosphate is an oral Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor, primarily used to target and block specific enzymes involved in the inflammatory process. It is chemically formulated as Baricitinib phosphate for enhanced solubility and bioavailability.

Function:
Baricitinib works by inhibiting JAK1 and JAK2 enzymes, which play a key role in the signaling of inflammatory cytokines. This action helps to reduce inflammation and modulate immune responses in various autoimmune conditions.

Applications:
Baricitinib phosphate is mainly prescribed for the treatment of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis in adults who have not responded adequately to other disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs). It is also used in the management of severe manifestations of COVID-19, as well as other autoimmune diseases.
