Collectively, the present results suggest that in the treatment of leukemia, taxodione has potential as a compound with high efficacy to overcome BCR-ABL T315I mutation-mediated resistance in leukemia cells.
The resistance to the tyrosine kinase inhibitor imatinib in BCR/ABL-positive leukemias is mostly associated with mutations in the kinase domain of BCR/ABL, which include the most prevalent mutations E255K and T315I.
