Tasigna 200mg Nilotinib is a type of biological therapy called a protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). Tyrosine kinases are proteins that act as chemical messengers (enzymes). They can stimulate cancer cells to grow. Nilotinib blocks a tyrosine kinase protein called Bcr-Abl. The protein is made by chronic myeloid leukaemia cells that have an abnormal chromosome called the Philadelphia chromosome. Blocking this protein stops the leukaemia cells growing. 95 out of 100 people with CML (95%) have the Philadelphia chromosome.
