Pharmacology
Zanubrutinib is a small-molecule inhibitor of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) that forms a covalent bond with a cysteine residue in the BTK active site, inhibiting BTK activity and thereby blocking B-cell proliferation, trafficking, chemotaxis, and adhesion pathways driven by B-cell antigen receptor and cytokine receptor signaling.
Lenalidomide is an immunomodulatory agent that mediates cellular activities through binding to cereblon, a component of a cullin ring E3 ubiquitin ligase enzyme complex, leading to degradation of substrate proteins and resulting in direct cytotoxic and immunomodulatory effects.
