BKJ8M8G5HI

A tyrosine kinase inhibitor and ANTINEOPLASTIC AGENT that inhibits the BCR-ABL kinase created by chromosome rearrangements in CHRONIC MYELOID LEUKEMIA and ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKEMIA, as well as PDG-derived tyrosine kinases that are overexpressed in gastrointestinal stromal tumors.
Imatinib is a Kinase Inhibitor. The mechanism of action of imatinib is as a Bcr-Abl Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor, and Cytochrome P450 3A4 Inhibitor, and Cytochrome P450 2D6 Inhibitor.

4.1 Drug Indication

For the treatment of Philadelphia chromosome positive chronic myeloid leukemia (Ph+ CML), Ph+ acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative diseases, aggressive systemic mastocytosis, hypereosinophilic syndrome and/or chronic eosinophilic leukemia (CEL), dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, and malignant gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST).


FDA Label


Glivec is indicated for the treatment of

- adult and paediatric patients with newly diagnosed Philadelphia-chromosome (bcr-abl)-positive (Ph+) chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) for whom bone-marrow transplantation is not considered as the first line of treatment;

- adult and paediatric patients with Ph+ CML in chronic phase after failure of interferon-alpha therapy, or in accelerated phase or blast crisis;

- adult and paediatric patients with newly diagnosed Philadelphia-chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (Ph+ ALL) integrated with chemotherapy;

- adult patients with relapsed or refractory Ph+ ALL as monotherapy;

- adult patients with myelodysplastic / myeloproliferative diseases (MDS / MPD) associated with platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) gene re-arrangements;

5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Pharmacology

Imatinib is an antineoplastic agent and a 2-phenylaminopyrimidine derivative that is used to treat chronic myelogenous leukemia. It works as a specific inhibitor of a number of tyrosine kinase enzymes. Chronic myelogenous leukemia is associated with the Philadelphia chromosome promoting the generation of BCR-ABL mutation, which results from the combination of two genes, known as BCR and ABL. BCR-ABL generates a fusion protein that acts as a constitutively active tyrosine kinase and imatinib works to inhibit this constitutive enzymatic activity.

5.5 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

The pharmacokinetics in CML and GIST patients are similar. Imatinib is well absorbed with mean absolute bioavailability is 98% and maximum plasma levels achieved within 2-4 hours of dosing


Route of Elimination

Imatinib elimination is predominately in the feces, mostly as metabolites. 81% of the dose is eliminated within 7 days, in feces (68% of the dose) and urine (13% of the dose). Unchanged imatinib accounted for 25% of the dose (5% urine, 20% faces), the remainder being metabolites.


Clearance

8 L/h [50-year-old CML and GIST patient weighing 50 kg]

14 L/h [50-year-old CML and GIST patient weighing 100 kg]


5.6 Metabolism/Metabolites

Primarily hepatic via CYP3A4. Other cytochrome P450 enzymes, such as CYP1A2, CYP2D6, CYP2C9, and CYP2C19, play a minor role in its metabolism. The main circulating active metabolite in humans is the N-demethylated piperazine derivative, formed predominantly by CYP3A4. This metabolite is similar in potency to the parent compound.


Imatinib has known human metabolites that include N-desmethylimatinib.

5.7 Biological Half-Life

Following oral administration in healthy volunteers, the elimination half-lives of imatinib and its major active metabolite, the N-demethyl derivative (CGP74588) are approximately 18 and 40 hours, respectively.


5.8 Mechanism of Action

Imatinib mesylate is a protein-tyrosine kinase inhibitor that inhibits the Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase, the constitutive abnormal tyrosine kinase created by the Philadelphia chromosome abnormality in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). It inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis in Bcr-Abl positive cell lines as well as fresh leukemic cells from Philadelphia chromosome positive chronic myeloid leukemia. Imatinib also inhibits the receptor tyrosine kinases for platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) and stem cell factor (SCF) - called c-kit. Imatinib was identified in the late 1990s by Dr Brian J. Druker. Its development is an excellent example of rational drug design. Soon after identification of the bcr-abl target, the search for an inhibitor began. Chemists used a high-throughput screen of chemical libraries to identify the molecule 2-phenylaminopyrimidine. This lead compound was then tested and modified by the introduction of methyl and benzamide groups to give it enhanced binding properties, resulting in imatinib.
