BOSUTINIB vs ICLUSIG
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Bosutinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that inhibits the BCR-ABL kinase, including many imatinib-resistant mutations, and Src family kinases.
Ponatinib is a multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor that inhibits BCR-ABL, including T315I mutant form, and also inhibits VEGFR, PDGFR, FGFR, EPH receptors, and SRC family kinases.

Terminal elimination half-life approximately 33 hours (range 22-60 hr) after oral administration, supporting once-daily dosing.
Clinical Note
moderateBosutinib + Digoxin
"The serum concentration of Digoxin can be increased when it is combined with Bosutinib."
Clinical Note
moderateBosutinib + Digitoxin
"Bosutinib may decrease the cardiotoxic activities of Digitoxin."
Clinical Note
moderateBosutinib + Deslanoside
"Bosutinib may decrease the cardiotoxic activities of Deslanoside."
Clinical Note
moderateBosutinib + Acetyldigitoxin
"Bosutinib may decrease the cardiotoxic activities of Acetyldigitoxin."
Terminal elimination half-life is approximately 7.5 hours in healthy subjects, supporting twice-daily dosing.
Primarily fecal (approx. 68% as unchanged drug and metabolites) and renal (approx. 25%, with <0.2% as unchanged drug in urine).
Primarily fecal (91%) as unchanged drug and metabolites; renal elimination accounts for less than 4% of the dose.
