CYT-387
CYT-387 (momelotinib) is an inhibitor of JAK2 currently under investigation as a potential treatment for myeloproliferative neoplasms; it displays anticancer chemotherapeutic activity. In cellular models of multiple myeloma, momelotinib induces G2/M phase cell cycle arrest. In vivo, this compound decreases tumor burden.
