Atopic dermatitis (AD) is characterized by chronic, eczematous, severe pruritic skin lesions. The knowledge on the pathogenesis of AD is driving the development of new drugs. From the research results, it has been revealed that Th2 cell-mediated immunity, skin barrier dysfunction, and pruritus cause a vicious cycle of AD. On the other hand, the Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT) pathway are one of the essential signaling pathways in various inflammatory diseases including AD. In particular, TSLP, IL-4, IL-13 and IL-22 occupy an important position for Th2 cell-mediated immune reaction. Moreover, experimentally pan-JAK inhibitor suppress the STAT3 activation and improved the skin barrier function. Furthermore TSLP, IL-4, IL-13 and IL-31 contribute a lot to chronic pruritus of AD, and transmitted via JAK-STAT pathway. Therefore, JAK inhibitors are promising candidates for the treatment of severe AD. Here we review clinical trials of topical dergocitinib; a pan-JAK inhibitor, ruxolitinib; a JAK1 and JAK2 inhibitor, and tofacitinib; a JAK1, JAK2, and JAK3 inhibitor and oral baricitinib; a JAK1 and JAK2 inhibitor, abrocitinib and upadacitinib; JAK1 inhibitor. Significant improvements in the symptoms were obtained by each drug with low frequency of adverse events. In particular, oral JAK inhibitors have the ability to improve the pruritus and skin symptoms quickly. Therefore, the emergence of these topical and oral JAK inhibitors would be regarded as an innovation in the treatment of atopic dermatitis.
