Abstract
Purpose of review: This review will discuss selected emerging molecular targets and associated potential therapeutic agents for rheumatoid arthritis (RA)-directed treatment.
Recent findings: Agents in active development for RA treatment include those targeted to CD40 and CD40 ligand, programmed death protein 1 (PD-1), and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). Several other molecules with a strong theoretical role in RA pathogenesis and/or demonstrated efficacy in other autoimmune diseases are also being evaluated as potential drug targets in preclinical or translational studies in RA. These targets include interleukin 1 receptor associated kinases 1 and 4 (IRAK1, IRAK4), tyrosine kinase 2 (Tyk2), bradykinin receptor 1 (B1R), OX40 and OX40 ligand.
Summary: Identification of molecular targets for RA treatment remains an active area of investigation, with multiple therapeutic agents in clinical and preclinical development.
