A tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) is a pharmaceutical drug that inhibits tyrosine kinases. Tyrosine kinases are enzymes responsible for the activation of many proteins by signal transduction cascades. The proteins are activated by adding a phosphate group to the protein (phosphorylation), a step that TKIs inhibit. TKIs are typically used as ...
Cancer's response to an inhibitor of tyrosine kinase was assessed in a clinical trial. [15] In this case, Gefitinib is the inhibitor of tyrosine kinase. Incorrect tyrosine kinase function can lead to non-small cell lung cancer. [16]
A protein kinase inhibitor (PKI) is a type of enzyme inhibitor that blocks the action of one or more protein kinases. Protein kinases are enzymes that phosphorylate (add a phosphate, or PO 4, group) to a protein and can modulate its function. The phosphate groups are usually added to serine, threonine, or tyrosine amino acids on the protein.
Genistein's chief method of activity is as a tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Tyrosine kinases are less widespread than their ser/thr counterparts but implicated in almost all cell growth and proliferation signal cascades. Inhibition of DNA topoisomerase II also plays an important role in the cytotoxic activity of genistein.

In the current study, the drug was tested in patients previously treated with a class of drugs known as tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI), which target mutations in specific proteins in the body ...
Bruton's tyrosine kinase is named for Ogden Bruton, who first described XLA in 1952. [10] [40] Later studies in 1993 and 1994 reported the discovery of BTK (initially termed B cell progenitor kinase or BPK) and found that BTK levels are reduced in B cells from XLA patients. [41] [42] [43]
The most common prior Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors received were ibrutinib (67%), acalabrutinib (30%), and zanubrutinib (8%); 83% had discontinued their last Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor due to refractory or progressive disease. [4] The trial was conducted at 49 sites in 10 countries in the United States, Europe, Australia, and ...
