12. Clinical Pharmacology
Mechanism of Action

Olutasidenib is a potent, selective, small-molecule inhibitor of mutant isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1). Mutant IDH1 catalyzes reduction of α-ketoglutarate to the oncometabolite 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG), which inhibits α-KG-dependent enzymes involved in histone and DNA demethylation, resulting in epigenetic dysregulation and a block in myeloid differentiation. By inhibiting mutant IDH1, olutasidenib reduces 2-HG levels, restores normal cellular differentiation, and induces maturation of leukemic blasts.

Pharmacokinetics

Tmax: 2-4 hours. Half-life: approximately 55-65 hours. Protein binding: ~98%. Metabolized by CYP3A4 and esterases. Steady-state by ~2 weeks. Excreted in feces (~73%) and urine (~12%).
