Exploiting the promiscuity of imatinib [PDF]
The protein kinase inhibitor imatinib, also known as Gleevec, has been a notable success in treating chronic myelogenous leukemia. A recent paper in BMC Structural Biology reports a 1.75 A crystal structure of imatinib bound to the oxidoreductase NQO2 and reveals insights into the binding specificity and the off-target effects of the inhibitor.

Five-year follow-up of patients receiving imatinib for chronic myeloid leukemia.
BACKGROUND The cause of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a constitutively active BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase. Imatinib inhibits this kinase, and in a short-term study was superior to interferon alfa plus cytarabine for newly diagnosed CML in the chronic ...

Imatinib mesylate in chordoma [PDF]
AbstractBACKGROUNDTo the authors' knowledge, no effective medical therapy currently is available for advanced chordoma. Imatinib mesylate is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting platelet‐derived growth factor receptor‐β (PDGFRB), BCR‐ABL, and KIT.METHODSSix patients with advanced chordoma were treated with imatinib mesylate at a dose of 800 mg daily ...

Quality-Adjusted Time Without Symptoms of Disease or Toxicity (Q-TWiST) in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Philadelphia Chromosome-Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: A Comparison of Ponatinib Versus Imatinib. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background In the phase 3 ponatinib‐3001 trial (PhALLCON, NCT03589326), ponatinib demonstrated superior efficacy over imatinib with comparable safety in patients with newly diagnosed Philadelphia‐positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL). This post hoc analysis evaluated the net benefits of ponatinib using a quality‐adjusted time without
