Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: VS-4718 is an investigational, potent, reversible and orally active inhibitor of focal adhesion kinase (FAK; PTK2) [3]. FAK inhibitors are being investigated for their anti-cancer effects due to the association of increased FAK expression with tumor progression, and the links between integrins and FAK in the adhesion pathways [1].
![]() 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. ✖ |
