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. |

Bioactivity Comments |
Thus far in vitro and in vivo activity has only been reported in meeting abstracts (see references 71-73 in [2], or generated via PubChem Bioassay. PubChem Bioassay results report Ki values of 1nM (ALK), 1.58nM (TrkA, NTRK1), 2.51nM (TrkB, NTRK2) and 1.58nM (TrkC, NTRK3). Entrectinib inhibits IL-1β formation (a proxy for NLRP3 inflammasome activation) by ~95% (at 10μ M in vitro [5]. |
