Abstract excerpt
Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) plays a key role in the B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling pathway and confers anti-apoptotic and proliferative properties to malignant B-cells in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Small molecule BTK inhibitors were designed to bind BTK's active site and block downstream signaling. These drugs have now been used in the treatment of thousands of patients with CLL, the most common form...
