BGS-2456 / BridGene Biosci - LARVOL DELTA

BGS-2456 Is a Novel Potent Covalent Inhibitor of FLT3 That Highly Discriminates Against KIT and Is Not Toxic Toward Normal Hematopoiesis in Vitro (ASH 2023) - "While there are numerous examples of KIT TKIs that do not inhibit FLT3 (imatinib, avapritinib, dasatinib), to date, all clinically active FLT3 TKIs (quizartinib, gilteritinib, midostaurin, sorafenib) fail to spare KIT inhibition...Compared to FF-10101 and gilteritinib, BGS-2456 exhibited the least amount of hematologic toxicity, facilitating in vitro proliferation and differentiation of normal hematopoietic progenitor cells even at 100x EC50 concentration against Molm14 cells... This is the first description of a potent and exquisitely specific FLT3 inhibitor that spares KIT inhibition and displays no myelosuppression in vitro at >100x EC50 concentration. The potent inhibitory effects of BGS-2456 on both D835Y and F691L mutants support its promise as a best-in-class TKI for the treatment of FLT3-mutant AML. Efforts to molecularly dissect the basis of the high degree of selectivity of BGS-2456 are ongoing."
