摘要: Approval of Gleevec and its demonstrated therapeutic value marked the full recognition kinase inhibitorsas a relevant means cancer treatment. A significant number inhibitors have recentlyentered clinical practice for treatment variety cancers many others are in advancedstages research. Among these several promising agents that act pathway initiateswith growth factor receptors EGFR/ErbB2 signals through Raf MEK to MAP ERK. Thischapter focuses on biological rationale, enzymatic pharmacological properties, statusof EGFR/ErbB2, Raf, MEK1/2. Coverage is given those compounds gainedapproval or being evaluated human trials.
