Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors in treating cancer: a patent review (2010-2018).
Expert Opinion on Therapeutic Patents 2019 March 20
INTRODUCTION: Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) plays a critical role in the regulation of survival, proliferation, activation and differentiation of B-lineage cells. It participates by regulating multiple cellular signaling pathways, including B cell receptor and FcR signaling cascades. BTK is abundantly expressed and constitutively active in the pathogenesis of B cell hematological malignancies, as well as several autoimmune diseases. Therefore, BTK is considered as an attractive target for treatment of B-lineage lymphomas, leukemias, and some autoimmune diseases. Many industry and academia efforts have been made to explore small molecular BTK inhibitors. Areas covered: This review aims to provide an overview of the patented BTK inhibitors for the treatment of cancer from 2010 to 2018. Expert opinion: BTK inhibitors attract much interest for their therapeutic potential in the treatment of cancers and autoimmune diseases, especially for B cell hematological malignancies. In 2013, ibrutinib was approved by the FDA as the first-in-class BTK inhibitors for the treatment of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and now it is also undergoing clinical evaluation for other indications in either single or combined therapy. It is clear that BTK inhibitors can provide a promising clinical benefit in treating B-lineage lymphomas and leukemias.
