Potential impact of tyrosine kinase inhibitors on glycemic control and diabetes mellitus progression: a clinical appraisal. (PubMed, J Diabetes Metab Disord)
Most of these hypoglycemic effects were observed during the clinical use of imatinib, dasatinib, erlotinib, and sunitinib in cancer patients with diagnosis of DM. The use of these antineoplastic agents in patients with DM and a diagnosis of cancer shows that these agents have the ability to lower blood glucose, which can be associated with tapering down or discontinuing the use of anti-diabetic treatment. The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s40200-025-01811-5.

Oral Melanocytic Neoplasms: A Narrative Review. (PubMed, J Oral Pathol Med)
Oral melanocytic neoplasms are rare and have distinct clinicopathological features. Despite this, a gap exists in molecular data regarding ODN and AMP. Conversely, OMN and OMM have distinct profiles; in particular, the latter may benefit modestly from tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatment, as KIT and BRAF mutations are sensitive to imatinib and vemurafenib, respectively.

Disarming the Hsp70-Bim Alliance: Small-Molecule and Peptidic Disruptors of a Chaperone-Apoptotic Switch in Cancer. (PubMed, ChemistryOpen)
A fragment-assisted screen then delivered a phenalene-dicarbonitrile chemotype, S1g-2, and optimized analogs that displace Bim with sub-micromolar potency, dismantle Hsp70-client hubs, and resensitize resistant xenografts to imatinib or tamoxifen without global proteostasis collapse. Future directions include covalent or macrocyclic wedges, degrader hybrids, and adaptive pulse-dose regimens guided by proximity-ligation assays. Collectively, chemical disarming of the Hsp70-Bim alliance exemplifies how precision targeting of chaperone PPIs can recalibrate apoptotic thresholds and unlock new therapeutic space in oncology.

Loeffler Syndrome in FIP1L1-PDGFRA-Positive Myeloid Neoplasm. (PubMed, JACC Case Rep)
Cardiac involvement in hypereosinophilic syndromes requires multidisciplinary management combining cytoreductive therapy, anticoagulation when thrombus is present, and serial cardiac magnetic resonance. Testing for FIP1L1-platelet-derived growth factor receptor α is disease-defining and therapy-guiding given the marked response to imatinib.

Coexistence of Philadelphia Chromosome in Acute Promyelocytic Leukaemia: Two Rare Cases, with A Literature Review. (PubMed, Eur J Case Rep Intern Med)
The rare genetic co-occurrence of t(15;17)/PML::RARA and t(9;22)/BCR::ABL1 translocations may be identified in a single patient with acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APL).Successful induction using all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) together with imatinib achieved effective control of both leukemic clones.The patient demonstrated rapid haematologic remission and favourable clinical recovery, suggesting a positive outcome with this therapeutic approach.

Is there a best frontline therapy in chronic myeloid leukemia? (PubMed, Haematologica)
Since then, four other tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), dasatinib, nilotinib, bosutinib and most recently asciminib, have garnered approval for frontline management of CML-CP. With limited prospective comparisons between the 2G-TKIs and similar survival outcomes with imatinib compared to 2G-TKIs, the selection of a TKI for patients with newly diagnosed CML-CP must be individualized to the needs of that specific patient. Important factors to consider when choosing a drug include patient related factors (age, comorbidities, lifestyle considerations, quality of life, patient preferences, shared-decision making and whether treatment free remission [TFR] is a goal), disease related factors (risk stratification, transcript type, presence of high risk gene mutations such as ASXL1) and drug related factors (major molecular response rates with each TKI, adverse events, rates of treatment discontinuation and TFR rates).

Dasatinib Produces Lengthy Remissions of Extramedullary Leukemia: A Retrospective Observational Study. (PubMed, Eur J Haematol)
Since 2004, patients receiving imatinib with relapse in non-marrow sites were given dasatinib to preserve control of leukemic marrow. Dasatinib is a potentially practice-changing targeted therapy for EML. Finding and eradicating EML could increase the possibility of lengthy disease-free survival.

Heterocyclic Compounds as Bcr-Abl Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors Against Chronic Myeloid Leukemia. (PubMed, Med Chem)
However, the toxicity and resistance associated with the use of imatinib, a first-generation Bcr-Abl inhibitor, in cases where the T315I mutation exists, necessitates the need for new tyrosine kinase inhibitors...However, investigating different combined scaffolds enhances the chance of successfully developing novel drug candidates. Overall, the information provided in this review can be beneficial to researchers with an interest in chronic myeloid leukemia and tyrosine kinase inhibitors.
