deulorlatinib

{
  "id": "MLC-T-ONC-012997",
  "term": "deulorlatinib",
  "field": "Oncology and biomedicine",
  "definition": "An orally bioavailable inhibitor of the receptor tyrosine kinases anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) and c-ros oncogene 1 (ROS1), with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon oral administration, deulorlatinib targets, binds to and inhibits the activity of ALK and ROS1, which leads to the disruption of ALK- and ROS1-mediated signaling and the inhibition of cell growth in ALK- and ROS1-expressing tumor cells. ALK belongs to the insulin receptor superfamily and plays an important role in nervous system development. ALK is not expressed in healthy adult human tissue but ALK dysregulation and gene rearrangements are associated with a variety of tumor cell types. ROS1, overexpressed in certain cancer cells, plays a key role in cell growth and survival of cancer cells.",
