| Ritlecitinib |
Ritlecitinib irreversibly and selectively inhibits Janus kinase (JAK) 3 and the tyrosine kinase expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (TEC) family by blocking the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) binding site. JAK3 and TEC family mediated signalling pathways are both involved in alopecia areata pathogenesis, although complete pathophysiology is still not understood. |
