THOMSON REUTERS INTEGRITYSM Leukemia Therapy: Bcr-Abl Kinase Inhibitors: Selective vs Nonselective
THOMSON REUTERS INTEGRITY:SUMMARY In this use case, active compounds for Leukemia will be found and filtered by mechanisms of action and organization. Comparing two launched products for this condition, Gleevec® and Tasigna®, a structure search will be run to find structure-activity relationships for specific Bcr-Abl kinase inhibitors. From specific Abl kinase inhibitors list, related targets associated to these drugs will be examined and the targetscape for Acute Myeloiod Leukemia will be explored
THOMSON REUTERS INTEGRITY: LEUKEMIA Leukemia is a malignant disease of the bone marrow and blood that is characterized by the uncontrolled accumulation of white blood cells About 4,400 people in the U.S. will die of Chronic lymphocytic leukemia during 2009, according to the American Cancer Society. Among patients with Acute lymphocytic leukemia in the U.S., approximately 1,400 are predicted to die during the same year; two-thirds of these would be adults. Approximately 470 people with Chronic myelogenous leukemia and 9,000 with Acute myelogenous leukemia are expected to die as a cause of their disease this year in the U.S. The treatment of leukemia is complex and is based on a range of factors including characteristics of the disease itself (type of leukemia, extent of disease, whether or not the disease has been treated previously) and patient characteristics (age, symptoms and general health). Chemotherapy is the primary treatment for acute myeloid leukemia (AML), chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), although the specific drugs used to treat each form differ. In some cases radiotherapy or stem cell transplantation may be used in combination with chemotherapy.
