摘要: A greater understanding of the pathogenesis malignancy has led to development novel therapies designed target aberrant molecular pathways that characterize and distinguish cancer cells from normal tissue. Small molecules are being interfere with specific steps along deregulated signaling cascade cytoplasmic membrane nucleus. Viable targets include growth factor receptors their downstream second messengers, modulators cell cycle or apoptosis, regulators protein trafficking degradation, transcription regulators. This review will discuss small molecule signal transduction inhibitors in various stages address strategic issues relating clinical trial design these targeted agents.
