BMS-986202 (BMS 986202) is potent, selective Tyk2 inhibitor that binds to Tyk2 JH2 domain with IC50 of 0.19 nM, Ki of 0.02 nM, >10,000-fold over 273 kinases and pseudokinases; BMS-986202 demonstrated cellular activity (IL-23 IC50=12 nM) in IL-23 stimulated reporter assay (in Kit225 T cells). BMS-986202 also binds Jak1 JH2 with an IC50 of 7.8 nM, but this enzymatic binding did not lead to any functional activities, as BMS-986202 displayed an activity (IC50) of greater than 12.5 μM in the IL-2 stimulated Jak1/3-dependent cellular assay. BMS-986202 showed in vivo efficacy in mouse models of IL-23-driven acanthosis, anti-CD40-induced colitis, and spontaneous lupus.

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day.
