Abstract
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative disease originating from a constitutively active tyrosine kinase, called BCR-ABL, expressed by an oncogene resulting from a reciprocal translocation between chromosome 9 and chromosome 22, coded as (t[9,22][q34;q11]). Inhibition of BCR-ABL with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) proved to be an efficient targeted therapy of Philadelphia-positive (Ph+) CML in the chronic phase. This review mainly addresses the synthetic pathways and process chemistry leading to the large scale preparation for pre-clinical demands and clinical supply of the three TKIs approved for Ph+ CML, i.e., imatinib, dasatinib and nilotinib and three more investigational drugs, i.e., bosutinib, ponatinib and bafetinib. Recent progress on the biochemical profiling of the six examined TKIs has been also reported.

Chalcogen-modified nucleic acid analogues
Chalcogen-modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides have been of great interest to scientific research for many years. The replacement of oxygen in the nucleobase, sugar or phosphate backbone by chalcogen atoms (sulfur, selenium, tellurium) gives these biomolecules unique properties resulting from their altered physical and chemical properties. The continuing interest in ...read more
