​达沙替尼(Dasatinib)

Dasatinib is a prescription medication used to treat certain types of leukemia (cancers of the white blood cells). Dasatinib belongs to a group of drugs kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of proteins that signal cancer cells to grow.

Dasatinib is approved for treatment of Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myelogenous leukemia (Ph+ CML). It is also approved for Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL). It works by targeting the Bcr-Abl protein found on leukemia cells. By binding to the Bcr-Abl protein, dasatinib prevents the growth of cancer cells.
