Reliable and Predictive In Vitro Assays for Myelotoxicity and Cardiotoxicity of Kinase Inhibitors

Reliable and Predictive In Vitro Assays for Myelotoxicity and Cardiotoxicity of Kinase Inhibitors content piece image
Kinase inhibitors (KIs) represent a new class of rationally designed drugs. The success of Imatinib has prompted the development of other KIs for the treatment of various cancers and inflammation. Although more successful than conventional therapies, myelotoxicity and cardiotoxicity are often major side effects of KIs. In order to predict if newly developed molecules demonstrated significant myelotoxicity or cardiotoxicity, we assessed a number of TKIs using in vitro models.
