Description

Product Information 

Gleevec is a cancer-treating prescription oral chemotherapeutic medication with the generic name Imatinib. It’s used to treat a variety of conditions, including leukemia (blood cancer), bone marrow disorders, and skin cancer. It’s also used to treat malignancies in the stomach and intestines.  

Gleevec Mechanism of Action   

Gleevec belongs to a class of medications called tyrosine kinase inhibitors.   

How Does Gleevec Work   

Tyrosine kinases are a kind of enzyme present in the body.  Tyrosine kinase enzymes are involved in a variety of cell functions, including cell communication, growth, and division. This medication stops tyrosine kinases from working. As a result, this medication slows or prevents some cancer cells from growing or developing.   

Gleevec GIST   

Certain medications can target proteins that promote cell growth and development in gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) cells. This medication, as well as other targeted medications, are usually quite effective in treating GISTs.  

CML Gleevec  

A gene found in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cells is not found in healthy ones. CML cells with this gene grow and reproduce uncontrollably. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors like this medication are the most common treatment for CML.
