Questions And Answer

• Description

  Quizartinib is an oral and potent fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) inhibitor and it is the first drug developed specifically targeting FLT3, as other agents with FLT3 inhibition activities were investigated with other targets in mind. Additionally, quizartinib also demonstrates inhibitory activity toward FLT3 with internal tandem duplication (ITD), although with a 10-fold lower affinity compared to wild-type FLT3. FLT3-ITD mutation is present in 75% of FLT3-mutated AML, leading to constitutively active FLT3 and thus poorer overall survival and higher risk of relapse. Multiple clinical trials have demonstrated quizartinib's efficacy in relapsed/refractory FLT3-ITD mutant AML. Therefore, quizartinib is proven to be a beneficial addition to the current AML treatment regimen, although serious side effects such as QT prolongation necessitates further research to optimize quizartinib's addition to AML standard of care. Quizartinib was approved by the FDA in July 2023 and developed under the brand name VANFLYTA by Daiichi Sankyo. The FDA approval was based on positive results from the QuANTUM-First trial for FLT3-ITD positive AML, where quizartinib combined with standard cytarabine and anthracycline induction and standard cytarabine consolidation, followed by a maintenance monotherapy resulted in a 22% reduction in the risk of death.;

• Biological activity

  Quizartinib (AC220) is a second-generation FLT3 inhibitor for Flt3(ITD/WT) with IC50 of 1.1 nM/4.2 nM in MV4-11 and RS4;11 cells, respectively, 10-fold more selective for Flt3 than KIT, PDGFRα, PDGFRβ, RET, and CSF-1R. Phase 3.;

• In vitro

  AC220 is a uniquely potent and selective inhibitor of FLT3 for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). AC220 exhibits low nanomolar potency in biochemical and cellular assays and exceptional kinase selectivity high selectivity, but high selectivity when inhibiting most protein kinase of the human. AC220 is a new selective inhibitor of FLT3 for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML).;

• In vivo

  In a xenograft tumor model, AC220 has nice drug attributes, good efficacy and high tolerability.. AC220 inhibits the activity of FLT3 and significantly extends survival in a mouse model of FLT3-ITD AML. Treatment with AC220 results in eradicating tumors in a xenograft tumor mouse model depended on FLT3. AC220 effectively inhibits the activity of FLT3 in primary cells of patients.;

• Features

  Quizartinib (AC220) is a 2nd-generation FLT3 inhibitor as the first clinical drug candidate.;
