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.
Quizartinib is a small molecule inhibitor of the receptor tyrosine kinase FLT3; it and its active metabolite AC886 bind the ATP binding domain of FLT3, inhibiting kinase activity and downstream FLT3 receptor signaling, thereby blocking FLT3-ITD-dependent cell proliferation.
