Abstract

Background: IR/IGF-1R kinase inhibitors are promising therapeutic agents in cancer. Results: Irfin1, a compound closely related to the ERK inhibitor FR180204, inhibits IR/IGF-1R family kinases. Conclusion: Irfin1 is a remarkably selective inhibitor for the inactive states of IR/IGF-1R kinases. Significance: Broad spectrum kinase inhibitor profiling can be exploited to uncover novel targets of small-molecule compounds.
