c-Met inhibitors

c-Met is a receptor for HGF (Hepatocyte growth factor) which is essential during many biological processes. The HGF / MET pathway is an excellent target for anti-cancer therapies. Activation of MET results in the recruitment of scaffolding proteins like Gab1 and Grb2, leading to the recruitment of SH2-domain containing signal transducers that in turn activate a number of pathways, like MAPK or PI3K. Branching morphogenesis, the most complex biological response induced by Met requires all signaling pathways and targets including MAPK, Gab1, Grb2, PI3K, Shp2, SH2 (Src-homology-2), Sos (son-of-sevenless), and PLC (phospholipase C).

E4606 Dihexa Dihexa (PNB-0408), an oligopeptide drug, is an orally active and blood-brain barrier-permeable analogue of angiotensin IV. It binds to hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) with high affinity and potentiates its activity at its receptor, c-Met. This compound can also be used as a therapeutic potential in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.
S9662 UNC2025 UNC2025 is a potent and orally active dual inhibitor of FLT3 and MER with IC50 of 0.35 nM and 0.46 nM, respectively. This compound also inhibits AXL, TRKA, TRKC, QIK, TYRO3, SLK, NuaK1, Kit (c-Kit) and Met (c-Met) with IC50 of 1.65 nM, 1.67 nM, 4.38 nM, 5.75 nM, 5.83 nM, 6.14 nM, 7.97 nM, 8.18 nM and 364 nM, respectively.
