Dasatinib, at nanomolar concentrations, represses the latter kinases: BCR-ABL, SRC family (SRC, LCK, YES, FYN), c-KIT, EPHA2, and PDGFRβ. Based on modeling studies, dasatinib is predicted to bind to varied conformations of the ABL kinase. In vitro, dasatinib was active in leukemic cell lines denoting variants of imatinib mesylate sensitive and resistant condition.
