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.
