Gilteritinib reverses ABCB1-mediated multidrug resistance: Preclinical in vitro and animal investigations.

Multi-drug resistance (MDR) poses a significant challenge to cancer treatment. Targeting ATP-binding cassette subfamily B member 1 (ABCB1) is a viable strategy for overcoming MDR. This study examined the preclinical in vitro and animal studies that used gilteritinib, a FLT3 inhibitor that reverses ABCB1-mediated MDR.

Overexpression of ABCB1 confers resistance to FLT3 inhibitor FN-1501 in cancer cells: in vitro and in vivo characterization.

FN-1501 is a potent FLT3 inhibitor with antitumor activity. A phase 1 trial of FN-1501 monotherapy in patients with advanced solid tumors and R/R AML is in progress. Since one of the primary causes of multidrug resistance (MDR) is the overexpression of ATP-binding cassette superfamily B member 1 (ABCB1), the objective of this study was to investigate the potential relationship between FN-1501 and the ABCB1 transporter.
