BTK Inhibitor TQB3702

**Semantic type:** Pharmacologic Substance

**Definition:** An orally bioavailable inhibitor of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK; Bruton agammaglobulinemia tyrosine kinase), with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon oral administration, BTK inhibitor TQB3702 targets, binds to and inhibits the activity of BTK. This prevents both the activation of the B-cell antigen receptor (BCR) signaling pathway and BTK-mediated activation of downstream survival pathways. This leads to an inhibition of the growth of malignant B-cells that overexpress BTK. BTK, a member of the Src-related BTK/Tec family of cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases, is overexpressed or mutated in B-cell malignancies; it plays an important role in the development, activation, signaling, proliferation and survival of B-lymphocytes.

**Synonyms:** - Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor TQB3702 - TQB 3702 - TQB-3702 - TQB3702
