| Application: | Imatinib mesylate (IM) has been used: • in sulforhodamine B cell viability assay to study its effect on CD34+ or CD38- and CD34+ or CD38+ cells • as an abelson1 (ABL1) kinase inhibitor • in circular dichroism analysis to study the effect of IM binding on the secondary structure of the human transferrins |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Imatinib mesylate is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor with antineoplastic activity. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Imatinib mesylate is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor with antineoplastic activity. Imatinib is a potent inhibitor of the Bcr-Abl kinase encoded by the bcr-abl oncogene as well as receptor tyrosine kinases encoded by c-kit and platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) oncogenes. Imatinib mesylate inhibition of Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase created by the Philadelphia chromosome abnormality found in CML decreases proliferation and enhances apoptosis in leukemias CML and ALL. Inhibition of c-kit tyrosine activity inhibits mast-cell and cellular proliferation in those diseases overexpressing c-kit such as gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). |
