Metabolic Activation of Tofacitinib Mediated by Myeloperoxidase
Tofacitinib (TFT) is used for the treatment of moderately and severely active rheumatoid arthritis. Unfortunately, TFT was reported to induce leukopenia, and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. The present study demonstrated that TFT was oxidized to a chemically reactive nitrenium ion by myeloperoxidase (MPO) occurring in neutrophils. The electrophilic ion showed chemical reactivity toward Topics: Acetylcysteine; Activation, Metabolic; Animals; Antirheumatic Agents; Hypochlorous Acid; Leukocytes; Leukopenia; Peroxidase; Piperidines; Pyrimidines; Pyrroles; Rats, Sprague-Dawley | 2019 |
