Interactions of N-desmethyl imatinib, an active metabolite of imatinib, with P-glycoprotein in human leukemia cells
|

Abstract We measured intracellular accumulation of N-desmethyl imatinib (CGP 74588), the main pharmacologically active metabolite of imatinib (Gleevec or STI-571), in Bcr†Abl-positive cells. Using a sensitive and robust non-radioactive in vitro assay, we observed that CGP74588 accumulates in significantly higher amount than imatinib in sensitive K562 cells. In contrast,...
