Biological activities

Imatinib is a 2-phenylaminopyrimidine derivative that functions as a multi-target inhibitor of tyrosine kinase enzymes with IC50 values of 0.6, 0.1 and 0.1 μM for v-Abl, c-kit and PDGFR, respectively. Imatinib (0.01-10 μM) treatment of human vascular smooth muscle cells (vSMC) in the presence of PDGF dose dependently decreases Sulfur-35 Na2SO4 (35S-SO4) incorporation into secreted proteoglycans with a maximal inhibition of 66% at 10 μM imatinib, with an IC50 value of approximately 700 nM. The half maximal saturation value for proteoglycans from imatinib treated human vSMC in the presence of PDGF is approximately 0.05 mg/mL compared to 0.02 mg/mL for PDGF treatment alone, indicating a substantial decrease in LDL binding with imatinib treatment.[1] Imatinib markedly down-regulates herg1 mRNA expression in dose depend manner and the maximal decrease 67.9 % is obtained at 5 μM. [2] The amount of imatinib that reduces K562 chronic myelogenous leukemia cells growth to 50% of that in controls (IC50) is 0.14 μM after 72 hours different dose imatinib (0.2, 0.3, 0.5 and 1 μM) contact. [3] Furthermore, after treatment with imatinib in K562 cells, necrosis is more pronounced than apoptosis at high concentrations of imatinib (14% for 1 μM imatinib, 20% for 10 μM imatinib, 72 hours contact).[4] Inhibition of Steel factor (SLF, ligand of c-kit)-induced c-kit autophosphorylation by imatinib is dose dependent, with complete inhibition observed at both 10 and 1.0 μM and c-kit activation is approximately 50% that in SLF-stimulated M-07e cells (a human myeloid leukemia cell line) not treated with inhibitor at an imatinib dose of 0.1 μM. Besides, in M-07e cells, complete inhibition of SLF-dependent activation of MAP kinase occurrs at 10, 1.0, and 0.5 μM concentrations of imatinib and total MAP kinase expression is not altered by treatment with imatinib.[5] Imatinib (70 or 100 mg/kg per day in 1 or 2 intra-peritoneal injections) inhibits 80%, 40% and 78% growth of SCLC6, SCLC61 and SCLC108 tumors, respectively, however without any significant inhibition of SCLC74 tumor growth.[6] In high fat fed ApoE−/− mice, imatinib (40 mg/kg) does not affect body weight and en face staining with Oil red O shows that imatinib significantly reduces the high fat-induced lipid staining area by 30%, 27% and 35% compared to high-fat diet untreated control when dosed by gavage at 10, 20 and 40 mg/kg, respectively.[1]

Protocols

Fresh stock solutions of imatinib (10 mM) are made by dissolving 5 mg imatinib in 1 mL phosphate-buffered saline (PBS).[5]
