Nilotinib

Nilotinib is an orally available Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase inhibitor with antineoplastic activity.
Solid
Nilotinib is a member of (trifluoromethyl)benzenes, a member of pyrimidines, a member of pyridines, a member of imidazoles, a secondary amino compound and a secondary carboxamide. It has a role as an antineoplastic agent, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor and an anticoronaviral agent.|Nilotinib, also known as AMN107, is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor under investigation as a possible treatment for chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). A Phase I clinical trial in 2006 showed that this drug was relatively safe and offered significant therapeutic benefits in cases of CML which were found to be resistant to treatment with imatinib (Gleevec), another tyrosine kinase inhibitor used as a first-line treatment for CML.|Nilotinib is a Kinase Inhibitor. The mechanism of action of nilotinib is as a Bcr-Abl Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor, and Cytochrome P450 2C8 Inhibitor, and Cytochrome P450 2D6 Inhibitor, and Cytochrome P450 2B6 Inducer, and Cytochrome P450 2C8 Inducer, and UGT1A1 Inhibitor, and P-Glycoprotein Inhibitor.|Nilotinib is a selective tyrosine kinase receptor inhibitor used in the therapy of chronic myelogenous leukemia. Nilotinib therapy is associated with transient elevations in serum aminotransferase levels and rare instances of clinically apparent acute liver injury.|Nilotinib is an orally bioavailable aminopyrimidine-derivative Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase inhibitor with antineoplastic activity. Designed to overcome imatinib resistance, nilotinib binds to and stabilizes the inactive conformation of the kinase domain of the Abl protein of the Bcr-Abl fusion protein, resulting in the inhibition of the Bcr-Abl-mediated proliferation of Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cells. This agent also inhibits the receptor tyrosine kinases platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGF-R) and c-kit, a receptor tyrosine kinase mutated and constitutively activated in most gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). With a binding mode that is energetically more favorable than that of imatinib, nilotinib has been shown to have an approximately 20-fold increased potency in kinase and proliferation assays compared to imatinib.
