Imatinib

Từ đồng nghĩa: Imatinib, Gleevec, Glivec, STI-571, CGP 57148B, 4-[(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl]-N-(4-methyl-3-{[4-(pyridin-3-yl)pyrimidin-2-yl]amino}phenyl)benzamide

Imatinib is a small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor that changed the treatment paradigm for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). Developed by Novartis and first approved in 2001, it remains a cornerstone of targeted cancer therapy and a high-demand API for generic manufacturers worldwide. As a phenylaminopyrimidine derivative, imatinib selectively inhibits BCR-ABL, c-KIT, and PDGFR kinases, offering a precise mechanism of action that has made it a benchmark in oncology.

Chemically, imatinib mesylate is the marketed salt form, but the free base is also supplied for research and formulation development. Its structure features a pyrimidine core linked to a benzamide moiety, with a methylpiperazine group enhancing solubility. This design allows for oral bioavailability and metabolic stability, distinguishing it from earlier, less selective kinase inhibitors. The compound is synthesized through a multi-step process involving palladium-catalyzed coupling and amide bond formation, yielding a highly pure active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) that meets stringent pharmacopeial standards.

In the B2B pharmaceutical supply chain, imatinib is primarily used in the production of generic oncology drugs. It is also a key reference standard in analytical laboratories and a starting point for next-generation kinase inhibitor research. LyvBio supplies imatinib API with consistent quality, supported by comprehensive documentation and reliable lead times to meet the demands of formulation companies and research organizations.

Function & Mechanism

• BCR-ABL inhibition: Binds to the ATP-binding site of the BCR-ABL fusion protein, blocking downstream signaling that drives CML cell proliferation.
• c-KIT inhibition: Targets mutant c-KIT receptors in GIST, leading to reduced tumor growth and improved clinical outcomes.
• PDGFR inhibition: Inhibits platelet-derived growth factor receptors, affecting tumor stroma and angiogenesis.
• Selectivity: Sparing many normal kinases, it reduces off-target effects compared to broad-spectrum inhibitors.
• Oral efficacy: Optimized for oral administration, providing sustained plasma levels and patient convenience.
