XL092 is a Potent Axl, Mer and C-Met kinase Inhibitor

Human Axl belongs to the TAM subfamily of receptor tyrosine kinases that includes Mer. TAM kinases contain two immunoglobulin-like domains and two fibronectin type III domains. Many cancer cells exhibit overexpressed Axl. And it is initially cloned from patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia. Axl has been associated with cancers...

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...
