Abstract Text

Dysregulation of the AXL receptor tyrosine kinase has been associated with many types of cancer. It has not been until recently, however, that targeting AXL has come under the spotlight because of ever accumulating evidence of its strong correlation with poor prognosis and drug resistance. The entry of the first AXL-branded inhibitor in clinical trials in 2013 marked an important milestone for the clinical validation of AXL as an anticancer target. Nevertheless, to weigh the current contribution and potential future impact of AXL inhibition in the clinic, it is fundamental to recognize that several kinase inhibitors approved or in clinical development have AXL as either a prominent secondary or even the primary target. Through this review, the chemical and biological properties of the main inhibitors targeting AXL (either intentionally or unintentionally) will be discussed, along with the prospects and challenges to translate AXL inhibitors into a bona fide therapeutic option.

Filtering

Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
Use simple literal full or partial string matches
Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.

BMS-777607		ASLAN002	AXL Inhibitor 30 MET Inhibitor 59 RON Inhibitor 11 TYRO3 Inhibitor 8	BMS-777607 (ASLAN002) is a small molecule that inhibits MET, MST1R (RON), TYRO3, and AXL, resulting in decreased downstream pathway activation, potentially resulting in decreased tumor cell growth and metastasis (PMID: 19260711, PMID: 20515943, PMID: 24233399, PMID: 26555154).
Bosutinib	Bosulif	SKI-606\|PF-5208763	ABL Inhibitor (pan) 9 AXL Inhibitor 30 BCR-ABL Inhibitor 31 BTK inhibitor 36 SRC Inhibitor 31 TNK2 Inhibitor 6	Bosulif (bosutinib) inhibits SRC and ABL kinases and has additional activity against other kinases including AXL, TNK2, and BTK, resulting in decreased pathway activation and inhibition of tumor cell proliferation (PMID: 12543790, PMID: 19039322, PMID: 26555154). Bosulif (bosutinib) is FDA-approved for use in adult and pediatric patients 1 year of age and older with Ph+ (BCR-ABL) chronic myelogenous leukemia (FDA.gov).
Glesatinib		MGCD-265\|MGCD 265	AXL Inhibitor 30 MET Inhibitor 59 RON Inhibitor 11 VEGFR Inhibitor (Pan) 36	Glesatinib (MGCD265) inhibits several tyrosine kinases including MET (type II inhibitor), MST1R (RON), and AXL, as well as VEGFR1-3, and TIE2, which may result in decreased tumor growth (PMID: 25806189, PMID: 26555154, PMID: 32306194).
