Therapy Name | Asparaginase Erwinia chrysanthemi |
Synonyms | |
Therapy Description |
Erwinaze (asparaginase Erwinia chrysanthemi) is an bacterial derived enzyme that converts L-asparagine to L-aspartate and ammonia, which decreases L-asparagine levels, potentially leading to reduced leukemic cell growth (PMID: 25098829, PMID: 26698391). Erwinaze (asparaginase Erwinia chrysanthemi) is FDA-approved for use in a chemotherapeutic regimen for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (FDA.gov). |
