SB1317, a potent and orally-active FLT3-CDK inhibitor with high anti-tumor efficacy in models of hematological malignancies
SB1317, a novel potent inhibitor of FLT3 kinase and CDKs 1, 2 and 9, demonstrated therapeutic potential for the treatment of hematological malignancies. FLT3 is the most common mutated gene in acute myeloid leukemia
