Imatinib is a 2-phenylaminopyrimidine derivative and antineoplastic drug used to treat chronic myelogenous leukemia. It inhibits a number of tyrosine kinase enzymes in a specific manner. Chronic myelogenous leukemia is linked to the Philadelphia chromosome, which promotes the BCR-ABL mutation, which is caused by the fusion of two genes, BCR and ABL. BCR-ABL generates a fusion protein that acts as a constitutively active tyrosine kinase and imatinib works to inhibit this constitutive enzymatic activity.

To take most of the benefit, administer this medication at the same time each day.
