Desmorpholinyl Quizartinib-PEG2-COOH is a compound featuring an FLT-3 ligand and a PEG-based PROTAC linker. It is employed in the synthesis of PROTAC FLT-3 degrader 1, which serves as a degrader for the FLT-3 internal tandem duplication (ITD) through PROTAC technology. The degrader exhibits an IC50 of 0.6 nM.
Quizartinib, also know as AC220 and AC010220, is an orally available FLT3 / STK1 inhibitor with potential antineoplastic activity. Class III receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor AC220 selectively inhibits class III receptor tyrosine kinases, including FMS-related tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3/STK1), colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R/FMS), stem cell factor receptor (SCFR/KIT), and platelet derived growth factor receptors (PDGFRs), resulting in inhibition of ligand-independent leukemic cell proliferation and apoptosis. Mutations in FLT3, resulting in constitutive activation, are the most frequent genetic alterations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and occur in approximately one-third of AML cases.
