Computer aided designing of novel pyrrolopyridine derivatives as JAK1 inhibitors

Abstract Janus kinases (JAKs) are a family of non-receptor kinases that play a key role in cytokine signaling and their aberrant activities are associated with the pathogenesis of various immune diseases. The JAK1 isoform plays an essential role in the types 1 and II interferon signaling and elicits...
