AKN-028 (TFA)

AKN-028 TFA, a novel tyrosine kinase (TK) inhibitor, is a potent, orally active FMS-like receptor tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) inhibitor with an IC50 value of 6 nM. AKN-028 TFA inhibits FLT3 autophosphorylation. AKN-028 TFA induces dose-dependent cytotoxic response (mean IC50=1 μM). AKN-028 TFA induces apoptosisby activation of caspase 3. AKN-028 TFA can be used in research of acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
