Structural insight into the macrocyclic inhibitor TPX-0022 of c-Met and c-Src.

c-Met has been an attractive target of prognostic and therapeutic studies in various cancers. TPX-0022 is a macrocyclic inhibitor of c-Met, c-Src and CSF1R kinases and is currently in phase I/II clinical trials in patients with advanced solid tumors harboring MET gene alterations. In this study, we determined the co-crystal structures of the c-Met/TPX-0022 and c-Src/TPX-0022 complexes to help elucidate the binding mechanism.
