In our study, we investigated the activity of bosutinib, dasatinib, imatinib, and nilotinib against a panel of 18 mutated forms of BCR/ABL associated with imatinib resistance in CML and Ph+ acute lymphoblastic leukemia patients. The results are listed in Figure 1 (Table 1 lists all the actual values for the relative concentration that inhibits 50%).

BMS-354825 is an orally bioavailable ABL kinase inhibitor with two-log increased potency relative to imatinib that retains activity against 14 of 15 imatinib-resistant BCR-ABL mutants. BMS354825 prolongs survival of mice with BCR-ABL– driven disease and inhibits proliferation of BCR-ABL–positive bone marrow progenitor cells from patients with imatinib-sensitive and imatinib-resistant CML....In vitro analysis of cell-growth inhibition of imatinib-resistant Ba/F3 cells expressing the indicated BCR-ABL mutants. Viable cell counts were performed in triplicate after 48 hours of exposure to BMS-354825 and normalized to the dimethyl sulfoxide–treated sample.
