Overview

Imatinib mesylate is a small molecule kinase inhibitor used to treat various types of cancer and blood conditions. It works by blocking a protein called tyrosine kinase, which helps stop cancer cells from growing and multiplying. The drug is primarily used for treating Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia (Ph+ CML), Ph+ acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL), gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), and several other conditions including myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative diseases, aggressive systemic mastocytosis, hypereosinophilic syndrome, chronic eosinophilic leukemia, and dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans.
