Description
(extracted from source data)
PHARMACODYNAMICS 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.
TOXICITY The most frequently reported adverse reactions (>30%) were edema, nausea,; vomiting, muscle cramps, musculoskeletal pain, diarrhea, rash, fatigue and; abdominal pain.
COMMENT Imatinib is a non-selective kinase inhibitor originally developed as a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, as shown in several papers (Nature Biotechnology 23, 329 - 336 (2005) ; Nature Biotechnology 26, 127 - 132 (2008) ). Imatinib is a potent inhibitior of ABL (Kis in the 10s of nM), DDR1 (Ki=0.8 nM), DDR2 (Ki=15 nM), KIT (Ki=14 nM), LCK (K=40 nM), PDGFRB (Ki=14 nM), PDGFRA (Ki=30 nM) and has affinity for many other kinases (see http://www.guidetopharmacology.org/GRAC/LigandDisplayForward?tab=screens...). Imatinib also has high affinity for the human quinone reductase 2 (NQO2) (Ki=80 nM; BMC Struct Biol. 2009; 9: 7).

DESCRIPTION Imatinib is a Type-2 kinase inhibitor. Its main inhibitory activity is against ABL kinase, but it has significant action at secondary targets including platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) and stem cell growth factor receptor (KIT).

Coronavirus: imatinib is reported to block Spike protein-induced SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV fusion in vitro , potentially by blocking Abl2 at the endosomal membrane and disrupting the actin dynamics that are required for virus-host fusion . It will be informative to determine if this holds true for SARS-CoV-2, and whether re-purposing of imatinib and/or newer Abl kinase inhibitors (, , , ) could be a viable strategy against COVID-19. This approach would likely to be most effective during the early stage of infection. (GtoPdb)
