Mechanism of action

TYK2 is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase that plays a critical role in signal transduction downstream of type I and type III interferons and IL-12/IL-23 cytokines. By selectively inhibiting TYK2, ASP7374 reduces pathogenic Th17 and other pro-inflammatory immune responses. This mechanism is particularly relevant for autoimmune and inflammatory conditions where these cytokine pathways drive disease pathology.
