Imatinib

Imatinib (STI571) is an orally bioavailable tyrosine kinases inhibitor that selectively inhibits BCR/ABL, v-Abl, PDGFR and c-kit kinase activity. Imatinib (STI571) works by binding close to the ATP binding site, locking it in a closed or self-inhibited conformation, therefore inhibiting the enzyme activity of the protein semicompetitively. Imatinib also is an inhibitor of SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV.

How to use

In Vitro:

In vitro assays for inhibition of a panel of tyrosine and serine/threonine protein kinases show that Imatinib inhibits the v-Abl tyrosine kinase and PDGFR potently with an IC50 of 0.6 and 0.1 μM, respectively. Imatinib inhibits the SLF-dependent activation of wild-type c-kit kinase activity with a IC50 for these effects of approximately 0.1 μM, which is similar to the concentration required for inhibition of PDGFR. Imatinib exhibits growth-inhibitory activity on the human bronchial carcinoid cell line NCI-H727 and the human pancreatic carcinoid cell line BON-1 with an IC50 of 32.4 and 32.8 μM, respectively. A recent study shows that Imatinib has the potential to exert its antileukemia effects in chronic myelogenous leukemia by down-regulating hERG1 K(+) channels, which are highly expressed in leukemia cells and appear of exceptional importance in favoring leukemogenesis.

In Vivo:

Imatinib produces a different antitumor effect on three xenografted tumors derived from surgical samples of fresh human small cell lung cancers, with 80%, 40% and 78% growth inhibition of SCLC6, SCLC61 and SCLC108 tumors, respectively, and no significant inhibition of SCLC74 growth. In high fat fed ApoE(-/-) mice, Imatinib significantly reduces the high fat-induced lipid staining area by 30%, 27% and 35% compared to high-fat diet untreated controls when dosed by gavage at 10, 20 and 40 mg/kg, respectively, and suppresses carotid artery lipid accumulation.
