I love travelling to the Northern hemisphere. When the days in Australia are starting to get longer and the nights colder, the other side of the world is just starting to emerge from the cold. It's a great contrast (and good fun packing a t-shirt in the middle of winter).

It was originally coded during development as CGP57148B or STI-571 (these terms are used in early preclinical publications). It is used in treating chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) and a number of other malignancies.
