Src/tubulin Inhibitor KX2-361

**Semantic type:** Pharmacologic Substance

**Definition:** A lipophilic, orally available inhibitor of both Src kinase activity and tubulin polymerization, with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon oral administration,Src/tubulin Inhibitor KX2-361 binds to and inhibits the activity of Src kinase. This inhibits both downstream signaling and the proliferation of Src kinase-expressing tumor cells. KX02 also binds to tubulin heterodimers and inhibits microtubule polymerization, thereby disrupting microtubule formation, mitosis, and further proliferation. Src, a non-receptor tyrosine kinase, is overexpressed in a variety of tumor cell types and plays a key role in tumor cell proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, and metastasis.

**Synonyms:** - KX02 - KX2-361 - KX2-361 - Src/tubulin Inhibitor KX02
