![]() Ligand Activity Visualisation ChartsThese are box plot that provide a unique visualisation, summarising all the activity data for a ligand taken from ChEMBL and GtoPdb across multiple targets and species. Click on a plot to see the median, interquartile range, low and high data points. A value of zero indicates that no data are available. A separate chart is created for each target, and where possible the algorithm tries to merge ChEMBL and GtoPdb targets by matching them on name and UniProt accession, for each available species. However, please note that inconsistency in naming of targets may lead to data for the same target being reported across multiple charts. ✖ |

Summary of Clinical Use ![]() |
Quizartinib was progressed through clinical trials to determine efficacy in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), including newly diagnosed FLT3-ITD +ve AML. Phase 2 and phase 3 results were published in 2019 [2,5]. First approval was granted by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW) in June 2019, for use of quizartinib in therapy regimens for FLT3-ITD +ve AML. US FDA approval for this indication was issued in July 2023, followed by EU EMA approval in November 2023, for the treatment of newly diagnosed FLT3-ITD +ve AML [4]. |
Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects ![]() |
The molecular target of quizartinib is the type III receptor tyrosine kinase FLT3 (fms-related tyrosine kinase 3) [1]. |
