摘要: The receptor tyrosine kinase FLT3 is an important regulatory molecule in hematopoiesis and expressed on the blasts most cases of acute leukemia. Activating mutations this are present roughly 30% myeloid leukemia (AML) patients associated with a distinctly worse clinical outcome. Efforts to target mutation improve outcomes subgroup AML have led investigation several novel small-molecule inhibitors. These compounds derive from wide variety chemical classes differ significantly both their potency selectivity. review summarizes data validating as therapeutic reviews results preliminary trials using these agents for treatment harboring mutations.
