AXL is a receptor tyrosine kinase that plays a key role in tumor growth and proliferation. The scientific community has validated AXL as therapeutic target in the treatment of cancers for several years now, and several AXL inhibitors have been developed but none of them are approved. In this context, we started to design new kinase inhibitors targeting AXL from the 7-azaindole scaffold well known to interact with the ATP binding site of the kinase. Focused screening and chemical diversification around 7-azaindole scaffold were developed, based on modeling studies and medicinal chemistry rational, leading to the discovery of a new family of hits with potent inhibitory activity against AXL.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007211 Indoles Benzopyrroles with the nitrogen at the number one carbon adjacent to the benzyl portion, in contrast to ISOINDOLES which have the nitrogen away from the six-membered ring.
D011485 Protein Binding The process in which substances, either endogenous or exogenous, bind to proteins, peptides, enzymes, protein precursors, or allied compounds. Specific protein-binding measures are often used as assays in diagnostic assessments. Plasma Protein Binding Capacity,Binding, Protein
D011518 Proto-Oncogene Proteins Products of proto-oncogenes. Normally they do not have oncogenic or transforming properties, but are involved in the regulation or differentiation of cell growth.
