摘要: Abstract The tyrosine kinase inhibitor imatinib (ST1571, Glivec) blocks the activity of BCR/ABL oncogene and induces hematologic remissions in majority patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Glivec is an aminopyrimidine derivative that interacts ATP-binding site within domain ABL several other kinases, including c-KIT, PDGFβ receptor, ARG. The compound currently phase III clinical trials. Although CML have been found to develop drug resistance only rarely so far, more advanced phases frequently. available information on will be reviewed.
