METHODS OF BLOCKING THE CXCR-4/SDF-1 SIGNALING PATHWAY WITH INHIBITORS OF BONE MARROW X KINASE

摘要

In some embodiments, the present invention relates to novel small molecule inhibitors that block the CXCR4-SDF-1 signaling pathway by directly inhibiting members of the Tec family of kinases, namely bone marrow X kinase (BMX) (also known as epithelial and endothelial tyrosine kinase (ETK)), and their use in treating diseases in which pathogenesis is mediated by the CXCR4/SDF-1 signaling pathway.
