Pacritinib (SB1518), a JAK2/FLT3 inhibitor for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia
11 Nov 2011
Abstract excerpt
FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) is the most commonly mutated gene found in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients and its activating mutations have been proven to be a negative prognostic marker for clinical outcome. Pacritinib (SB1518) is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) with equipotent activity against FLT3 (IC(50)=22 n) and Janus kinase 2 (JAK2, IC(50)=23 n). Pacritinib inhibits FLT3 phosphorylation and...
