entrectinib is an approved drug (Japan and FDA (2019), EMA (2020))
Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: Entrectinib is an oral, brain penetrant, receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) inhibitor that targets solid tumours that harbour activating alterations in NTRK1, NTRK2, NTRK3 (the Trk family RTKs), ROS1 or ALK [6]. NTRK1 fusion proteins are becoming recognised as oncogenic-drivers in NSCLC [3], so the ability of the compound to target these and ALK- and ROS1-rearrangements suggests it has the potential to become a useful oncology agent.
More recently entrectinib has been shown to inhibit NLRP3 inflammasome assembly and activation via a direct interaction with NIMA related kinase 7 (NEK7) that disrupts the NLRP3-NEK7 interaction [5]. This discovery suggests a role for entrectinib as an intervention for inflammasome-related diseases. |
