Icotrokinra (JNJ-77242113)
Synonyms: JNJ-2113; PN-235; JNJ-77242113
Icotrokinra (JNJ-77242113) is an orally available and selective antagonist of the interleukin-23 (IL-23) receptor. It potently inhibits IL-23-induced STAT3 phosphorylation in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (IC₅₀ = 5.6 pM) and suppresses IL-23-induced interferon-γ (IFN-γ) production in natural killer (NK) cells (IC₅₀ = 18.4 pM). Icotrokinra also demonstrates anti-inflammatory activity in a rat TNBS-induced colitis model. It is a promising therapeutic candidate for the study and treatment of inflammatory conditions such as psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
