Adaphostin

Novel antitumor agent that induces apoptosis in tumor cells through inhibition of the tyrosine kinase BCR/ABL.

Adaphostin is a p210bcr/abl tyrosine kinase inhibitor and a potent inducer of myeloid cell death. 
Adaphostin is a p210bcr/abl tyrosine kinase inhibitor displaying anti-proliferative activity in leukemia models, human prostate cancer cell line PC-3 and other cancer cell lines. Adaphostin is a potent inducer of myeloid cell death. Similarly to AG957, adaphostin appears to induce a degradation of WT and mutated Bcr/Abl.

p210 bcr/abl tyrosine kinase inhibitor (IC 50 = 14 μ M). Induces apoptosis in T-lymphoblastic human leukemia cell lines (IC 50 values range from 16.8 to 216.3 nM) in vitro . Displays selectivity for chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) myeloid progenitors in vitro .
