Discovery of Small Molecule c-Met Inhibitors: Evolution and Profiles of Clinical Candidates
1 Jan 2010
Abstract excerpt
The scatter factor/hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)-c-Met axis is involved in the malignant phenotype of various tumor types via activation of a wide range of autocrine and paracrine processes. Autocrine activation of tumor cell c-Met receptors enhances tumor cell proliferation, angiogenesis, invasion/metastasis and resistance to apoptosis and cytotoxic therapies. In addition, tumor and stroma cell-derived HGF...
