TG-101348 is a selective inhibitor of JAK2 with IC50 of 3 nM, 35- and 334-fold more selective for JAK2 versus JAK1 and JAK3. 

TG-101348 also significantly inhibits JAK2 V617F, Flt3, and Ret with IC50 of 3 nM, 15 nM, and 48 nM, respectively. TG101348 has an IC50 ~300-fold higher for the closely related JAK3 and is a less potent inhibitor of the JAK1 and TYK2 family members. TG101348 inhibits proliferation of a human erythroblast leukemia (HEL) cell line that harbors the JAK2V617F mutation, as well as a murine pro-B cell line expressing human JAK2V617F (Ba/F3 JAK2V617F), with IC50 of 305 nM and 270 nM, respectively. TG-101348 also inhibits proliferation of parental Ba/F3 cells to a comparable level, with IC50 of ~420 nM. TG101348 treatment reduces STAT5 phosphorylation at concentrations that parallel the concentrations required to inhibit cell proliferation. TG101348 induces apoptosis in both HEL and Ba/F3 JAK2V617F cells in a dose-dependent manner. TG101348 does not show proapoptotic activity in control normal human dermal fibroblasts at concentrations up to 10 μM, and the antiproliferative IC50 against fibroblasts is >5 μM.TG101348 treatment decreases GATA-1 expression, which is associated with erythroid-skewing of JAK2V617F+ progenitor differentiation, and inhibits STAT5 as well as GATA S310 phosphorylation.TG101348 inhibits the proliferation of HMC-1.1 (KITV560G) cells, with somewhat lower potency than HMC-1.2 (KITD816V, KITV560G) cells, with IC50 of 740 nM and 407 nM, respectively.
