Mechanism of action
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cell lines that overexpressed BCR-ABL were reduced in their proliferation by dasatinib. Dasatinib successfully overcame imatinib resistance caused by mutations in the BCR-ABL kinase domain, activation of alternative signaling pathways involving the SRC family kinases (LYN, HCK), and overexpression of multi-drug resistance genes under the assay conditions.
The effects of this medication can be seen one to six hours after oral consumption.
