ipilimumab MOA
Anti-CTLA-4: Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes (CTLs) can recognize and destroy cancer cells. However, an evolutionary inhibitory mechanism that we have in place interrupts this destruction. Ipilimumab turns off this inhibitory mechanism and allows CTLs to go to town on the tumors. (CTLA4 is found on the surface of T cells, and acts as an "off" switch when bound to CD80 or CD86 on the surface of antigen-presenting cells.)
94
Ipilimumab indications
metastatic / late stage melanoma
95

In general: As2O3 causes degradation of PML-RAR alpha protein
100
Arsenic Trioxide indications
Acute promyelocytic anemia (APL) | ATRA (tretinoin) + arsenic trioxide: ~90% cure rate
