The ectopic expression of Mer receptor tyrosine kinase (Mer) has been identified as a tumor cell survival gene product in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) cells and a potential cause of ALL chemoresistance. Hence, we investigated whether the development of small molecule Mer inhibitors was possible. A first aspect of the present invention is a compound (sometimes referred to as an “active compound” herein) of Formula I, IA, or IB.
Mer受体
酪氨酸激酶(Mer)的异位表达已被确定为急性淋巴细胞白血病(ALL)细胞中的肿瘤细胞生存
基因产物,也是ALL化疗耐药的潜在原因。因此,我们研究了开发小分子Mer
抑制剂是否可能。本发明的第一个方面是式I、IA或IB的化合物(以下有时称为“活性化合物”)。
