Ponatinix Tablet 45 mg contains Ponatinib Hydrochloride, a potent third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) used in the treatment of resistant or refractory leukemias. It is particularly effective in patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) and Philadelphia chromosome-positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (Ph+ ALL), especially those harboring the T315I mutation. This higher strength formulation is often used as an initial or adjusted dose under strict oncological supervision.

Composition

• Active Ingredient: Ponatinib Hydrochloride 45 mg

Mechanism of Action

Ponatinib works by inhibiting multiple tyrosine kinases, including the BCR-ABL fusion protein responsible for uncontrolled proliferation of leukemia cells. Its mechanism includes:

• Blocking cancer cell growth signaling pathways
• Inhibiting proliferation of abnormal cells
• Inducing apoptosis (programmed cell death)
• Effectively targeting resistant mutations such as T315I

This targeted mechanism makes it a valuable option in difficult-to-treat cases.
