How do you inhibit BCR-ABL?
Drugs known as tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) that target BCR-ABL are the standard treatment for CML. These include: Imatinib (Gleevec) Dasatinib (Sprycel)
What was the result of inhibiting BCR-ABL?
Bcr-Abl mutation Point mutations can cause amino acid substitutions inside the kinase domain of the Bcr-Abl protein and disrupt the binding site of imatinib on the tyrosine kinase, resulting in a loss of sensitivity to the drug.
What kind of inhibitor is Gleevec?
Imatinib mesylate (Gleevec, Glivec, Novartis) is a selective inhibitor of ABL, ARG, KIT, PDGFR, and some oncogenic forms, most notably BCR-ABL. Accelerated approval was initially granted by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2001 for the treatment of Ph+CML after the failure of IFNα therapy.
How is ABL inhibited?
ABL kinases are inhibited when a myristoylated residue in the N-lobe binds a hydrophobic pocket in the C-lobe, locking ABL1/ABL2 into a “closed,” or catalytically inactive, conformation (Fig. 1).
How do TKIs work?
TKIs are a type of targeted therapy. They work by switching off (inhibiting) the tyrosine kinase made by the BCR-ABL1 gene in leukaemia cells. This slows or stops the bone marrow from making abnormal white blood cells. It also allows the leukaemia cells to mature and die.
Is Gleevec a biologic drug?
As this is now a constitutively active tyrosine kinase, imatinib is used to decrease bcr-abl activity….Mechanism of action.

Does TKIs cure CML?
Although a bone marrow transplant is the only treatment that can cure CML, it is used less often now. This is because bone marrow transplants have a lot of side effects, while TKIs are very effective for CML and have fewer side effects.
Is AP24534 a pan-Bcr-Abl inhibitor for CML?
AP24534 inhibited all tested BCR-ABL mutants in cellular and biochemical assays, suppressed BCR-ABL T315I -driven tumor growth in mice, and completely abrogated resistance in cell-based mutagenesis screens. Our work supports clinical evaluation of AP24534 as a pan-BCR-ABL inhibitor for treatment of CML.
How does AP24534 work for chronic myeloid leukemia?
AP24534, a pan-BCR-ABL inhibitor for chronic myeloid leukemia, potently inhibits the T315I mutant and overcomes mutation-based resistance
What is AP24534 (AP24534)?
AP24534, a Pan-BCR-ABL Inhibitor for Chronic Myeloid Leukemia, Potently Inhibits the T315I Mutant and Overcomes Mutation-Based Resistance
Is AP24534 a potent multitargeted kinase inhibitor against T315I?
We report design and preclinical evaluation of AP24534, a potent, orally available multitargeted kinase inhibitor active against T315I and other BCR-ABL mutants.
