Background:

AP20187 is a small dimerizer drug [1].

To solve the graft-versus-host disease, the in vivo behavior of the transplanted cells should be controlled. AP20187 is used in the conditional system as a chemical inducer of dimerization (CID). Another component is a fusion protein. The CIDs have advantages in gene therapy, it offers the possibility of achieving selection without the toxic effects. In vivo studies show that AP20187 can produces a notable expansion of transduced red cells, platelets, and to a lesser extent, granulocytes [1].

AP20187 is also reported to be used in an AP20187–LFv2IRE system. In this system, AP20187 administration causes the activation of LFv2IRE and results in increased uptake of both hepatic glycogen content and muscular glucose [2].
