Effects of imidazole derivatives on cellular proliferation and apoptosis in myeloid leukemia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is the sub-type of Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) which is described by differentiation block at promyelocytic stage and t(15; 17) translocation with All trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and arsenic trioxide (ATO) as standard treatments. Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) translocation t (19; 22) causes a rise in granulocytes and their immature precursors in the blood. Different mutations cause resistance to first-line tyrosine kinase therapies in CML. Beside drug resistance, leukemia stem cells (LSC) are critical resources for relapse and resistance in APL and CML. The drug toxicity and resistant profile associated with LSC and current therapeutics of APL and CML necessitate the development of new therapies. Imidazoles are heterocyclic nitrogen co
