🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)

Pharmacokinetics

AbsorptionThis medicine is well absorbed after oral administration. The mean absolute bioavailability is approximately 98%. Food does not significantly affect the bioavailability, but taking it with food may reduce gastrointestinal irritation.

DistributionThis medicine is widely distributed into body tissues. It is approximately 95% bound to plasma proteins, mainly albumin and alpha-1 acid glycoprotein.

Protein BindingApproximately 95% bound to plasma proteins.

MetabolismThis medicine is extensively metabolized in the liver, primarily by the CYP3A4 enzyme. The main metabolite is the N-desmethyl derivative, which has similar activity to the parent drug.

Half-LifeThe elimination half-life is approximately 18 hours for the parent drug and 40 hours for its active metabolite.

ExcretionThis medicine is mainly excreted in the feces as metabolites. Approximately 25% is excreted in the urine, mostly as metabolites.

BioavailabilityApproximately 98%

Onset of ActionThe onset of action is not immediate; therapeutic effects may take several weeks to become apparent.

Peak Plasma TimePeak plasma concentrations are reached approximately 2 to 4 hours after oral administration.

Duration of ActionThe duration of action is not well defined, but the effect is sustained with continuous daily dosing.

How It Works

This medicine is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that works by blocking the activity of certain abnormal proteins that drive cancer cell growth. Specifically, it inhibits the BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase created by the Philadelphia chromosome abnormality in chronic myeloid leukemia. It also inhibits other tyrosine kinases such as c-Kit and platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR). By blocking these signals, it helps stop the growth and multiplication of cancer cells.

Mechanism Steps

1

Binding to target kinases: This medicine binds to the ATP-binding site of BCR-ABL, c-Kit, and PDGFR tyrosine kinases.

2

Inhibition of phosphorylation: By binding, it prevents the phosphorylation of downstream signaling proteins.

3

Blockade of growth signals: This blocks signals that tell cancer cells to grow and divide.

4

Induction of apoptosis: Cancer cells undergo programmed cell death (apoptosis).

5

Reduction in tumor growth: The overall effect is a reduction in tumor cell proliferation and tumor size.
