APPLICATION OF JANUS-KINASE INHIBITORS IN THE TREATMENT OF ALOPECIA AREATA (LITERATURE REVIEW)

Based on the analysis of data from modern foreign sources current information about using of Janus-kinase inhibitors, in particular, tofacitinid and ruxolitinid, for the treatment of alopecia areata in adults and children, in the presence of a lesion of the scalp and other areas (eyebrows, eyelashes) is shown. The information about the mechanism of action of Janus-kinase inhibitors, the efficacy and safety of their use, possible methods of use, prospects for further research in the treatment of alopecia areata using targeted drugs is presented. The pathogenetic rationale for the possibility of using this group of drugs for treating immune-mediated diseases, for instance, alopecia areata is described.
