Product Description
(3R,4S)-Tofacitinib (Tofacitinib Impurity A) is a less active diastereomer/enantiomer of Tofacitinib (CP 690550; tasocitinib; Xeljanz), which is a JAK3 (Janus-Associated kinase) inhibitor and an FDA approved drug for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis, and ulcerative colitis.


(3R,4S)-Tofacitinib (CAS 1092578-46-5) is the less active enantiomer of Tofacitinib (CP-690550). Tofacitinib is a first-in-class JAK3 inhibitor with an IC₅0 of 1 nM. This enantiomer exhibits reduced biological activity compared to the active (3S,4R) enantiomer, making it a useful tool for dissecting the role of JAK signaling in biological processes.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
JAK3; less active diastereomer/enantiomer of Tofacitinib
(3R,4S)-Tofacitinib targets Janus kinase 3 (JAK3) with an IC₅0 of 1 nM. It shows 20- to 100-fold less potency against JAK2 and JAK1 compared to JAK3. As a JAK inhibitor, it interferes with the JAK-STAT signaling pathway, which is involved in immune cell activation, proliferation, and cytokine signaling.
ln Vitro
(3R,4S)-Tofacitinib is an impurity of Tofacitinib and is a less active diastereomer of Tofacitinib.
In vitro, (3R,4S)-Tofacitinib is significantly less active than the (3S,4R) enantiomer of Tofacitinib. While the active enantiomer potently inhibits JAK3-mediated signaling and T-cell proliferation, the (3R,4S) enantiomer shows markedly reduced inhibitory activity, providing a valuable negative control for studying JAK3-dependent effects in cellular systems.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity data for the (3R,4S) enantiomer specifically are limited. Tofacitinib (the racemic or active enantiomer) is highly efficacious in treating rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune conditions. The (3R,4S) enantiomer is not used therapeutically but serves as a research tool to distinguish enantiomer-specific effects in preclinical models.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme binding assays for JAK inhibitors are performed using purified recombinant JAK3 kinase domains. The compound is incubated with the kinase, ATP, and a peptide substrate in a kinase buffer. Phosphorylated substrate is detected using luminescence-based (e.g., ADP-Glo) or fluorescence-based methods. IC₅0 values are calculated from dose-response curves generated with serial dilutions of the compound (0.01-1000 nM).
Cell Assay
Cellular assays for (3R,4S)-Tofacitinib are conducted using JAK3-dependent cell lines such as IL-2-stimulated T-cells or CTLL-2 cells. Cells are treated with serial dilutions of the compound for 48-72 hours. Cell proliferation is measured by BrdU incorporation or MTT assay. STAT5 phosphorylation, a downstream marker of JAK3 activity, is assessed by flow cytometry or Western blot. The (3R,4S) enantiomer serves as a negative control in these assays.
Animal Protocol
In vivo studies for enantiomer comparison typically involve administering the (3R,4S) enantiomer and the active enantiomer to rodent models of autoimmune disease (e.g., collagen-induced arthritis). Standard endpoints include assessment of clinical disease scores, joint histopathology, and inflammatory cytokine levels. The (3R,4S) enantiomer is expected to show minimal efficacy compared to the active enantiomer.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of (3R,4S)-Tofacitinib are expected to be similar to those of Tofacitinib due to identical physicochemical properties. Tofacitinib has good oral bioavailability, moderate plasma protein binding, and a half-life of approximately 3 hours. It is metabolized primarily by CYP3A4 and excreted via both renal and hepatic routes. The compound is formulated for oral administration.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data specific to the (3R,4S) enantiomer are not extensively characterized. Tofacitinib has been extensively studied in clinical trials and shows a manageable safety profile with adverse effects including infections, gastrointestinal symptoms, and lipid profile changes. The (3R,4S) enantiomer, being less pharmacologically active, is expected to have a different toxicity profile.

Additional Infomation
(3r,4s)-Tofacitinib is an N-acylpiperidine.
(3R,4S)-Tofacitinib is a research-use compound not approved for clinical therapeutic applications. It is used as a negative control and tool compound in studies investigating JAK3 signaling, the stereospecificity of JAK inhibitors, and the mechanisms of action of Tofacitinib.
