NCIt definition : An orally bioavailable small molecule and ATP-competitive focal adhesion kinase (FAK)
inhibitor with potential antineoplastic and antiangiogenic activities. FAK inhibitor
PF-00562271 inhibits the tyrosine kinase FAK, and to a lesser extent, proline-rich
tyrosine kinase (PYK2), which may inhibit tumor cell migration, proliferation, and
survival. As FAK is a signal transducer for integrins, inhibition of FAK by this agent
may prevent integrin-mediated activation of several downstream signals including ERK,
JNK/MAPK and PI3K/Akt. FAK and PYK2, upregulated in many tumor cell types, are involved
in tumor cell invasion, migration and proliferation.;
