Comment: Alectinib is a second generation ALK inhibitor. It was developed to inhibit the expression of the mutated ALK gene that causes growth of some non-small cell lung cancers, in patients whose cancer has become resistant to the older ALK inhibitor, crizotinib [2,5]. However, additional mutations may develop which confer alecitinib resistance [1]. Cells harbouring these novel mutations are reported to be sensitive to ceritinib and other next-generation ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors [1]. The identification of the mechanisms by which acquired tumour resistance occurs highlights the importance of being able to use the correct drug for the correct patient to maximise the clinical benefit [4]
The design and synthesis of alectinib (CH5424802) is described in [2]. 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. ✖View more information in the IUPHAR Pharmacology Education Project: alectinib |
