Substitution of the N-methylpiperazine moiety present in imatinib by a phenyl group bearing trifluoromethyl and imidazole substituents in the nilotinib structure greatly contributes to the potency of nilotinib by reducing the requirement for hydrogen bonding with nilotinib (four H-bond interactions compared with six H-bonds for imatinib).
