Pharmacology
Motixafortide is a CXCR4 inhibitor that blocks binding of SDF-1alpha/CXCL12 to CXCR4, disrupting stem cell anchoring in the bone marrow and mobilizing hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells into the peripheral circulation.
Selinexor reversibly inhibits exportin 1 (XPO1), blocking nuclear export of tumor suppressor proteins and oncogenic mRNAs, causing nuclear accumulation of tumor suppressors, downregulation of oncoproteins such as c-myc and cyclin D1, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis of cancer cells.
