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.
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.
