MOA

SOTYKTU is an oral, selective tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) inhibitor1,15

A diagram showing the mechanism of action for Sotyktu
  • TYK2 mediates signalling of IL-23, IL-12, and Type I IFN, which are naturally occurring cytokines involved in inflammatory and immune responses1,15
  • SOTYKTU binds to the regulatory domain of TYK2, stabilising an inhibitory interaction between the regulatory and the catalytic domains of the enzyme1,15
  • This results in allosteric inhibition of receptor-mediated activation of TYK2 and its downstream functions in cells1,15,16
  • SOTYKTU inhibits the release of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines1,16
