Troponin I is a cardiac and skeletal muscle protein useful in the laboratory diagnosis of a heart attack. Troponin I is a part of the troponin protein complex, where it binds to actin in thin myofilaments to hold the actin-tropomyosin complex in place.
ITK TRKA-IN-1 is a chemical compound that functions as a dual inhibitor of IL-2-inducible T-cell kinase (ITK) and tropomyosin receptor kinase A (TRKA). With an IC50 value of 1.0 nM, it effectively inhibits the activity of ITK, while demonstrating a remarkable 96% inhibition of TRKA.
GNE-8525 is a potent and selective pan-TRK inhibitor. GNE-8525 demonstrated potent antiproliferation activity with IC50 = 0.003 μM. In a tumor xenograft model derived from the KM12 cell line, GNE-8525 demonstrated in vivo antitumor efficacy when administered at ascending doses twice daily (bid) for 14 days in rats. Deregulated kinase activities of tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) family members have been shown to be associated with tumorigenesis and poor prognosis in a variety of cancer types. In particular, several chromosomal rearrangements involving TRKA have been reported in colorectal, papillary thyroid, glioblastoma, melanoma, and lung tissue that are believed to be the key oncogenic driver in these tumors.
