The Multi-Kinase Inhibitor EC-70124 Is a Promising Candidate for the Treatment of FLT3-ITD-Positive Acute Myeloid Leukemia

| Sumario: | Patients with AML harboring constitutively active mutations in the FLT3 receptor generally have a poor prognosis (FLT3-ITDMUT). Despite the fact that several FLT3 inhibitors have been developed, clinical responses are commonly partial or not durable, highlighting the need for new molecules targeting FLT3-ITDMUT. Here, we tested EC-70124, a hybrid indolocarbazole analog from the same chemical space as midostaurin (a well-known FLT3 inhibitor). Our in vitro and in vivo experiments showed that EC-70124 exerts a robust and specific antileukemia activity against FLT3-ITDMUT AML cells while sparing healthy hematopoietic cells. Collectively, EC-70124 is a promising and safe agent for the treatment of this aggressive type of AML. |
