Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects Click here for help
The Fv portion of moxetumomab pasudotox binds to CD22, a cell surface receptor expressed on a variety of malignant B-cells.This targets the toxin moiety, PE38, directly to tumor cells. Internalized PE38 induces caspase-mediated apoptosis via a mechanism involving mitochondrial damage and blocks translational elongation by binding to elongation factor 2 (EF-2) [7].
