Pharmacology
Crizotinib is an inhibitor of receptor tyrosine kinases including ALK, ROS1, c-Met, and RON; it blocks ALK fusion protein-driven oncogenic signaling, inhibiting tumor cell proliferation and survival.
KRAS G12C inhibitor; sotorasib forms an irreversible, covalent bond with the unique cysteine of KRAS G12C, locking the protein in an inactive state that prevents downstream signaling without affecting wild-type KRAS, thereby blocking tumor cell growth and promoting apoptosis in KRAS G12C tumor cell lines.
