Pharmacology
BCL-2 inhibitor; venetoclax is a selective, orally bioavailable small-molecule that restores apoptosis by binding directly to the BCL-2 protein, displacing pro-apoptotic proteins like BIM and triggering mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization and activation of caspases.
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.
