merestinib

Merestinib (LY2801653) is an orally available, small molecule inhibitor of the proto-oncogene c-Met (Ki: 2 nM) with potential antineoplastic activity. Merestinib electively binds to c-Met, thereby inhibiting c-Met phosphorylation and disrupting c-Met signal transduction pathways. This may induce cell death in tumor cells overexpressing c-Met protein or expressing the constitutively activated c-Met protein.

Merestinib dihydrochloride is an effective and orally bioavailable c-Met inhibitor (Ki=2 nM). It has anti-tumor activities and also has potent activity against MST1R (IC50=11 nM), FLT3 (IC50=7 nM), AXL (IC50=2 nM), MERTK (IC50=10 nM), TEK (IC50=63 nM), RO
