Description
In a preclinical trial, the leukemic cell line MV4-11 with the FLT3-ITD mutation and the leukemic cell line RS4;11 with the native FLT3 gene were treated with the tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) ponatinib, sorafenib, and sunitinib. Ponatinib was similarly effective in the growth inhibition of cells harboring the FLT3-ITD mutation (IC50=2 nmol/L) compared to sorafenib (IC50=4 nmol/L) and sunitinib (IC50=12 nmol/L). Conversely, all three TKIs each were not effective in the growth inhibition of cells with native FLT3 (IC50>100 nmol/L).
