Drugs in Denileukin Diftitox
Denileukin diftitox is a specific active drug substance rather than an independent therapeutic drug class; the FDA officially classifies it as an interleukin-2 (IL-2) receptor-directed or CD25-directed cytotoxin.
It is an engineered recombinant fusion protein combining human interleukin-2 with cytotoxic fragments of diphtheria toxin.
This biologic agent selectively binds to cells expressing the IL-2 receptor, undergoes receptor-mediated endocytosis, and delivers the enzymatic toxin domain to inhibit cellular protein synthesis and induce apoptotic cell death.
Clinically, it is indicated for the treatment of hematologic malignancies that express CD25, most notably relapsed or refractory cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.
