Pharmacology
Ponatinib is a kinase inhibitor that inhibits the tyrosine kinase activity of ABL and T315I mutant ABL, as well as VEGFR, PDGFR, FGFR, EPH receptor, and SRC family kinases, KIT, RET, TIE2, and FLT3, suppressing viability of cells expressing native or mutant BCR::ABL including T315I.
Decitabine is a nucleoside metabolic inhibitor that incorporates into DNA and inhibits DNA methyltransferase, causing hypomethylation and cellular differentiation or apoptosis; cedazuridine inhibits cytidine deaminase in the gastrointestinal tract and liver to increase systemic exposure of orally administered decitabine.
