• Small molecule inhibitor of both the SRC and BCR/ABL tyrosine kinases, with IC50s for the isolated kinases of 0.55 and 3.0 nM, respectively. Lombardo, L.J., et al. \"Discovery of N-(2-chloro-6-methylphneyl)-2-(6-(4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-piperazin-1-yl)-2-methylpyrimidin-4-ylamino) thiazole-5-carboxamide (BMS-354825), a dual Src/Abl kinase inhibitor with potent antitumor activity in pre-clinical assays.\" J. Med. Chem. 47: 6658-6661 (2004).
• Dasatinib also inhibits Lyn (IC50 = 8.5 nM) and Src (IC50 = 3.0 nM) kinase activities in vitro using 0.1 mg/mL poly (Glu4-Tyr) as the substrate. Nam, S., et al. \"Action of the Src Family Kinase Inhibitor, Dasatinib (BMS-354825), on Human Prostate Cancer Cells.\" Cancer Res. 65: 9185-9189 (2005).
• Dasatinib has greater potency than imatinib mesylate and has activity against the majority of kinase mutations in imatinib-resistant chronic myeloid leukemia. Copland, M., et al. \"Dasatinib (BMS-354825) targets an earlier progenitor population than imatinib in primary CML but does not eliminate the quiescent fraction.\" Blood 107: 4532-4539 (2006).
• Dasatinib and nilotinib are respectively 325-fold (IC50: 0.6 versus 280 nM) and 20-fold (IC50: 15 versus 280 nM) more potent than imatinib against cells expressing wild-type Bcr-Abl. Similar improvements are also seen in all imatinib-resistant mutants tested, with the exception of T315I. Both inhibitors have activity against imatinib-refractory chronic myelogenous leukemia. OHare, T., et al. \"In vitro activity of Bcr-Abl inhibitors AMN107 and BMS-354825 against clinically relevant imatinib-resistant Abl kinase domain mutants.\" Cancer Res. 65: 4500-4505 (2005).
