Nilotinib monohydrochloride monohydrate is a second generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), is significantly potent against BCR-ABL, and is active against many BCR-ABL mutants.

Bcr-Abl^[1]

Nilotinib (AMN107) monohydrochloride monohydrate, selective Abl inhibitor, is designed to interact with the ATP-binding site of BCR-ABL with a higher affinity than imatinib while being significantly more potent compared with imatinib (IC₅₀<30 nM), also maintains activity against most of the BCR-ABL point mutants that confer Imatinib resistance^[1].
Nilotinib monohydrochloride monohydrate demonstrates significant antitumor efficacy against GIST xenograft lines and imatinib-resistant GIST cell lines which parent cell lines GK1C and GK3C shows imatinib sensitivity with IC₅₀ of 4.59±0.97 μM and 11.15±1.48 μM, respectively, imatinib-resistant cell lines GK1C-IR and GK3C-IR shows Imatinib resistance with IC₅₀ values of 11.74±0.17 μM (P<0.001) and 41.37±1.07 μM (P<0.001), respectively^[2].
