Pharmacology

Mechanism of Action

CXCR4 inhibitor; CXCR4 controls mobilization and trafficking of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) through signaling pathways CXCL12 in bone marrow stromal cells binds to CXCR4 on HSCs and retain them in the bone marrow

Motixafortide blocks this interaction between CXCL12 ligand and CXCR4, which leads to stem cell mobilization to the peripheral blood for collection by apheresis and storage for autologous transplantation
