Abstract excerpt
ret-derived oncogenes are frequently and specifically expressed in thyroid tumors. In contrast to the ret receptor, ret oncoproteins are characterized by ligand-independent tyrosine-kinase activity and tyrosine phosphorylation. In this study, novel synthetic arylidene 2-indolinone compounds were evaluated as inhibitors of the ret/ptc1 tyrosine kinase. Four compounds inhibited ret/ptc1 activity in immunokinase...
