How much does Imatinib cost?

Imatinib, trade nameGlivec, is a drug developed and sold by the Swiss company Novartis to treat chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), gastrointestinal stromal tumors and other cancers. Imatinib was first used for chronic myelogenous leukemia with Philadelphia chromosome translocation, and was later gradually found to be effective in a variety of cancers. By 2011, the drug had been approved by the US FDA for the treatment of 10 different cancers. For chronic myelogenous leukemia, the chromosomes located in the 9 and 22 pairs each break a small segment and exchange connections, causing abnormal function of bone marrow cells and producing a large number of abnormal white blood cells. The transposed chromosomes are also called "Philadelphia chromosome" abnormalities. Imatinib can effectively inhibit the Philadelphia chromosome gene, so that the phosphorylation reaction cannot be catalyzed and the chromosome function is lost, thereby inhibiting abnormal white blood cell proliferation. Imatinib binds to the active site of tyrosine kinases and blocks their activity.
