What does it do?

Ruxolitinib phosphate is an antineoplastic agent that selectively inhibits the enzymes JAK1 and JAK2. It is primarily used to treat myeloproliferative diseases such as myelofibrosis and polycythemia vera. This class of drugs aims to regulate abnormal blood cell proliferation.

Ruxolitinib phosphate blocks the activity of the JAK1 and JAK2 enzymes in the body, thereby inhibiting abnormal signaling. This helps control the growth of excessively proliferating blood cells and reduces inflammatory responses. As a result, it aids in the relief of symptoms and the progression of myeloproliferative diseases.
