Specification
Description
Imatinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor with antineoplastic activity. Imatinib binds to an intracellular pocket located within tyrosine kinases (TK), thereby inhibiting ATP binding and preventing phosphorylation and the subsequent activation of growth receptors and their downstream signal transduction pathways. This agent inhibits TK encoded by the bcr-abl oncogene as well as receptor TKs encoded by the c-kit and platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) oncogenes. Imatinib was approved for medical use in the United States in 2001.

In Vitro Activity
Furthermore, results showed that imatinib with the dose of 100 μg had the same effect as 25 μg amphotericin B on the viability of L. major promastigotes. In addition, imatinib with the dose of 100 μg had almost the same effect as 25 μg amphotericin B on the viability of L. major amastigotes [Table 1]. Three-way repeated ANOVA measurements showed that both two cyclic forms of parasites (P < 0.001), both different doses of imatinib (P < 0.001), and duration of exposure to imatinib (P < 0.001) were effective on survival percentage of parasite stages. As seen in Table 1, the average survival of amastigotes is significantly higher than promastigotes. Increasing the concentration of imatinib, the percentage of survival has declined, as well as with increasing exposure time, the parasite survival rate has decreased. As a result, it can be stated that the percentage of viability of promastigotes and amastigotes produced reverse ratio with the exposure time and drug dosage. For more investigation, the estimated marginal means for different groups and treatment type were presented in Table 2.

In Vivo Activity
To translate findings in vivo, this study performed a time-resolved study assessing the effects of imatinib on macrophages and metabolic disease manifestations in HFD-induced obese mice: Reduction of TNFα in peritoneal and liver macrophages occurred most rapidly upon imatinib. Activated peritoneal macrophages are known to have both enhanced glycolysis and mitochondrial oxidation. Metabolic flux as another measure for macrophage activation confirmed altered polarization by lower metabolic oxidation upon imatinib. In the liver, this study was able to localize TNFα in liver macrophages, which decreased over time as shown by lower F4/80 area fraction and CD68 gene expression. Thus, it is conceivable that down-regulation of TNFα by imatinib interrupts the vicious cycle of resident liver macrophage activation and/or bone marrow-derived macrophage recruitment to the liver, subsequently lowering their activation and/or number.
