What is bosutinib used for?
bosutinib is a BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitor and is used to treat Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myelogenous leukemia (Ph+ CML).
How does bosutinib work?
bosutinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). It blocks a certain protein in your body called BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase. This protein is only found on cancer cells like those of CML and typically causes the cancer cells to grow and multiply. By blocking BCR-ABL from working, bosutinib stops the cancer from growing and spreading.
