Crenolanib is an orally bioavailable benzimidazole that selectively and potently inhibits signaling of wild-type and mutant isoforms of class III receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) FLT3 (FMS-like Tyrosine Kinase 3), PDGFR α (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Receptor), and PDGFR β. Unlike most RTK inhibitors, crenolanib is a type I mutant-specific inhibitor that preferentially binds to phosphorylated active kinases with the ‘DFG in’ conformation motif.{{cite web |url=http://www.gistsupport.org/media/GISTS_2012/POSTER--AROG--AACR%202012_type%20I%20vs%20type%20II%20poster.pdf |title=CRENOLANIB, A NOVEL TYPE I, MUTANT -SPECIFIC INHIBITOR OF CLASS III RECEPTOR TYROSINE KINASES, PREFERENTIALLY BINDS TO PHOSPHORYLATED KINASES |author1=A.

Activation of PDGFRB, a third member of the type III RTK family, has been implicated in the development of chronic myelomonocytic leukemia due to the fusion of PDGFRB with the TEL gene. Furthermore, PDGFB translocation to the COL1A1 gene locus has been identified to be responsible for dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP). In cancer cells, PDGFR promotes tumor development and migration via proto-oncogenic downstream mediators like AKT and MEK{{citation needed|date=September 2014}}. In stromal fibroblasts, PDGFRα activation leads to local tissue invasion, production and secretion of VEGF, and elevated intratumoral interstitial pressure{{citation needed|date=September 2014}}. In stromal pericytes, PDGFRβ activation mediates vascular stability. Thus, either FLT3 or PDGF/PDGFR pathway is the primary driver of oncogenesis in the above malignancies and can be targeted by crenolanib therapy{{citation needed|date=September 2014}}.
Mechanism
=[[FLT3]]: wild-type and mutant=
Crenolanib inhibits both wild type FLT3 and its constitutively active mutations. In vitro studies have shown that crenolanib has low Kd for the FLT3 enzyme with constitutively activating internal tandem duplication (ITD) mutations and tyrosine kinase domain (TKD) mutations, D835H and D835Y, as compared to wild type. Crenolanib tightly binds to FLT3-ITD, FLT3-D835H and FLT3-D835Y with Kd of 0.74 nM, 0.4 nM, and 0.18 nM, respectively.{{cite journal |doi=10.1158/1538-7445.AM2012-3683 |title=Abstract 3683: Crenolanib, a novel Type I, mutant-specific inhibitor of Class III receptor tyrosine kinases, preferentially binds to phosphorylated kinases |year=2012 |last1=Muralidhara |first1=C. |last2=Ramachandran |first2=A. |last3=Jain |first3=V. K. |journal=Cancer Research |volume=72 |issue=8 Supplement |page=3683}} Crenolanib inhibits the phosphorylation of the FLT3-ITD receptor in transfected TF-1 cells and the FLT3-D835Y TKD mutation in transfected Ba/F3 cells at nanomolar IC50 concentrations of 1.3 nM and 8.8 nM, respectively.{{cite journal |doi=10.1158/1538-7445.am2012-3660 |title=Abstract 3660: Crenolanib: A next generation FLT3 inhibitor |year=2012 |last1=Galanis |first1=A. |last2=Rajkhowa |first2=T. |last3=Muralidhara |first3=C. |last4=Ramachandran |first4=A. |last5=Levis |first5=M. |journal=Cancer Research |volume=72 |issue=8 Supplement |page=3660}} Immunoblot experiments performed in the Molm14 FLT3-ITD positive cell line show that crenolanib inhibits downstream signaling of FLT3 at a concentration of 10 nM. MTT assay measurements of crenolanib cytotoxicity evaluated in the FLT3-ITD expressing cell lines Molm14 and MV411, showed that crenolanib is toxic at IC50 concentrations of 7 nM and 8 nM, respectively.
=PDGFRα: wild-type and mutant=
Crenolanib has been shown to inhibit PDGFRα with an IC50 of 0.4 ng/mL in porcine aortic epithelial cell lines. In Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells expressing PDGFRα, crenolanib inhibited the phosphorylation of wild type PDGFRα at an IC50 of 10 nM.{{cite journal |doi=10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-12-0625 |title=Crenolanib Inhibits the Drug-Resistant PDGFRA D842V Mutation Associated with Imatinib-Resistant Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors |year=2012 |last1=Heinrich |first1=M.

In addition, crenolanib also inhibited phosphorylation of the double mutants PDGFRα (V561D + D842V and T674I + D842V).
=PDGFRβ: wild-type=
Crenolanib has been shown to inhibit PDGFRβ with an IC50 of 0.8 ng/mL in porcine aortic epithelial cell lines. Crenolanib inhibits the ability of recombinant PDGFRβ to phosphorylate a synthetic tyrosine substrate (poly-glutamic acid-tyrosine), with an IC50 of 0.4 ng/mL. Evaluation of the antitumor activity of crenolanib in a genetically engineered BSG DIPG mouse model showed that it is highly selective for PDGFRβ with an IC50 of 10 nM when measured by BrdU assay and 1.25 uM by MTT assay.
=C-Kit: wild-type and mutant=
Crenolanib has been shown to have IC50 and Kd values of 67 nM and 78 nM, respectively, for wild type c-KIT in in vitro assays{{citation needed|reason=This claim doesn't have a citation. Reference 14 does NOT have actual Kd... it just says "still being determined"|date=September 2014}}. Similar assays show that crenolanib inhibits c-KIT activating mutations D816H and D816V with IC50 concentrations of 5.4 and 2.5 nM, respectively.{{citation needed|reason=This claim doesn't have a citation. Reference 14 does NOT have actual Kd... it just says "still being determined"|date=September 2014}} Human bone marrow progenitor cell growth assays showed that crenolanib has modest effects on GM-CSF and BFUE driven colony formation at the IC50 concentration of 20 nM.

Pharmacokinetic and safety studies of Crenolanib administered alone or in combination with docetaxel with or without axitinib have been completed. Results suggest that Crenolanib is well tolerated as a single agent, and can also be safely combined with docetaxel and axitinib due to their non-overlapping toxicity profiles.
