Pharmacology
Gemtuzumab ozogamicin is a CD33-directed antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that binds CD33-expressing tumor cells, undergoes internalization of the ADC-CD33 complex, and releases N-acetyl gamma calicheamicin dimethyl hydrazide intracellularly via hydrolytic linker cleavage; the activated calicheamicin derivative induces double-strand DNA breaks, leading to cell cycle arrest and apoptotic cell death.
Midostaurin is a multi-kinase inhibitor that inhibits wild type and mutant FLT3, KIT (wild type and D816V), PDGFRalpha/beta, and members of the PKC serine/threonine kinase family, inducing apoptosis in leukemic cells expressing FLT3 mutations and inhibiting KIT signaling and histamine release in mast cells.
