BOSUTINIB vs XALKORI
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.
Selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting ALK, ROS1, and MET, inhibiting downstream signaling pathways (PI3K/AKT, MAPK/ERK) leading to reduced tumor cell proliferation and survival.

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 72 hours (range 47-108 hours) in patients, supporting once-daily dosing.
Primarily fecal (approx. 68% as unchanged drug and metabolites) and renal (approx. 25%, with <0.2% as unchanged drug in urine).
Primarily hepatic metabolism, with 53% of the dose recovered in feces (mostly as metabolites) and 22% in urine (1.1% unchanged).
