ALK-IN-1

ALK-IN-1 is a novel, synthetic, orally available small-molecule inhibitor of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), which is a receptor tyrosine kinase in the insulin receptor superfamily, with half maximal inhibitory concentration IC50 ranging from 5 nmol/l to 11 nmol/l. ALK-IN-1 is also capable of inhibiting the ALK tyrosine kinase gatekeeper mutation L1196M (IC50: 15 nmol/l to 45 nmol/L), mutant epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) containing the gatekeeper T790M mutation and c-ros oncogene 1 (ROS1). Moreover, ALK-IN-1 has been found to be active against H3122 cells (both sensitive and resistant) and Ba/F3 cells harboring native or mutant EML4-ALK (IC50: 10 nM and 24 nM respectively).
