Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: Compound 30 [7] is a selective inhibitor of the tyrosine kinase PTK2 (aka FAK). It is a type III inhibitor, meaning that it binds to an allosteric site, not to the ATP active site of the kinase.
![]() Ligand Activity Visualisation ChartsThese are box plot that provide a unique visualisation, summarising all the activity data for a ligand taken from ChEMBL and GtoPdb across multiple targets and species. Click on a plot to see the median, interquartile range, low and high data points. A value of zero indicates that no data are available. A separate chart is created for each target, and where possible the algorithm tries to merge ChEMBL and GtoPdb targets by matching them on name and UniProt accession, for each available species. However, please note that inconsistency in naming of targets may lead to data for the same target being reported across multiple charts. ✖ |

Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects ![]() |
PTK2 plays a key role in the control of cell proliferation, migration and invasion, and helps regulate resistance to apoptosis [4]. This enzyme is over-expressed in a number of cancers, and reduction of PTK2 activity has growth inhibitory action in vitro and in vivo [1-2,5-6,8]. These factors make inhibition of PTK2 a novel mechanism for diseases of cellular over-proliferation [3]. |
