GSK2606414 is an Orally Available PERK Inhibitor

PERK (Protein kinase R (PKR)-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase) is a type I endoplasmic reticulum transmembrane protein. Generally, PERK contains a stress-sensing domain facing the endoplasmic reticulum lumen and a cytosolic kinase domain. Interestingly, PERK is a major component of the unfolded protein response (UPR), which promotes the adaptation of...

Cabozantinib is a potent Multiple Receptor Tyrosine Kinases (RTKs) Inhibitor

Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are high-affinity cell surface receptors for many polypeptide growth factors, cytokines, and hormones. Specifically, RTKs are part of a larger family of protein tyrosine kinases. RTKs are key regulators of normal cellular processes. Besides, it plays a key role in the development and progression of...

Sitravatinib (MGCD516) is an Orally Bioavailable RTK Inhibitor with PD-1 Blockade Activity

Sarcomas are rare but highly aggressive mesenchymal tumors. Mutation and overexpression of many receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) including c-Met, PDGFR, c-Kit and IGF1-R drive defective signaling pathways in sarcomas. Sitravatinib is a small molecule inhibitor targeting multiple receptor tyrosine kinases involved in driving sarcoma cell growth. Moreover, Sitravatinib significantly...
