Vatalanib (PTK787) is an Inhibitor of VEGFR2/KDR

Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) is the receptor for VEGF. VEGF is an important signaling protein involved in both vasculogenesis and angiogenesis. VEGFRs consist of three subtypes, the fms-like tyrosine kinase Flt-1 (VEGFR1/Flt-1), the kinase domain region, also referred to as fetal liver kinase (VEGFR2/KDR/Flk-1), and Flt-4 (VEGFR3)....

ML786 is an Orally Bioavailable Raf Inhibitor

The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signal pathway plays an important role in cells. It also has a response to many different external stimuli and regulates cellular growth, proliferation. The Raf isoform B-Raf is one component of this pathway. Besides, it has a high rate of activating mutation in melanoma...

CGP77675 is an Orally Active Inhibitor of Src Family Kinases

Src kinase family is a nonreceptor tyrosine kinase family. It includs 9 members: SRC, yes, Fyn and FGR, Lck, HCK, BLK, and Lyn. Specifically, Src family kinases interact with many cytoplasmic, nuclear, and membrane proteins and modify these proteins by phosphorylation of tyrosine residues. Besides, tyrosine kinase SRC is...
