Imatinib
• Drug against chronic myolegenous leukemia (CML) and gastrointestinal stromal
tumors (GIST)
• Metabolized by CYP3A enzymes
• Hepatotoxicity 2 - 5 %; 4 patients died; mechanisms unknown
• Hepatic metabolism → reactive metabolites of imatinib

Bioactivation mechanism
•
P450-catalyzed oxidation and subsequent desaturation
Imine and imine-methide intermediates
• Soft electrophile (imine-methide) intermediate reacts with hard nucleophile
(cyanide ion)
Steric effect caused by large pyridine-pyrimidine partial structure

Bioactivation mechanism
•
Carbonyl group on the ring
Conjugated imine intermediates (soft electrophiles)
•
No conjugation detected with GSH (soft nucleophile)
Cyanide adducts were not formed via conjugated imine intermediate
•
Possibility of conjugated imine intermediate cannot be ruled out
