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.
Gilteritinib is a small molecule inhibitor of multiple receptor tyrosine kinases, including FLT3; it inhibits FLT3 receptor signaling and proliferation in cells expressing FLT3-ITD and FLT3 tyrosine kinase domain mutations, and induces apoptosis in leukemic cells expressing FLT3-ITD.
