1.What Molotinibis and what it is used for
What Molotinib is
Momelotinib is an inhibitor of wild type Janus Kinase 1 and 2 (JAK1/JAK2) and mutant JAK2V617F, which contribute to signaling
of a number of cytokines and growth factors that are important for hematopoiesis and immune function.Molotinib is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with certain types of myelofibrosis (MF) who have anemia. It is not known if Molotinib is safe and effective in children.
What Molotinib is used for
Molotinib is indicated for the treatment of intermediate or high-risk myelofibrosis (MF), including primary MF or secondary MF [post-polycythemia vera (PV) and post-essential thrombocythemia (ET)], in adults with anemia.
How Molotinib works
This medicine is thought to work by blocking some enzymes known as Janus kinases (JAKs). These enzymes can be found in some receptors on the surface of cells and are involved in the reproduction and growth of blood cells. In myelofibrosis, JAKs are more active than normal. By blocking these enzymes, this medicine is expected to slow down the abnormal growth of blood cells, reducing the symptoms of the disease.
