Potent, selective and non toxic c-kit inhibitors

摘要

The present invention relates to a screening method allowing the identification and selection of compounds targeting the transphosphorylase (also called phosphotransferase) domain of c-kit, more particularly compounds selected to be potent inhibitors of constitutively activated c-kit, while being unable to inhibit other activation pathways as for example the pathways leading to death of IL-3 dependent cells cultured in presence of IL-3.
