XX XX = common, very common; X = rare, uncommon; CMR, carcinogenic, mutagenic and toxic for reproductive system; CNS, central nervous system; source of information: Summaries of Product Characteristics (SmPCs) of marketed TKI [16]. Molecular mechanism of action Many chemotherapy-naive and nearly all drug resistant tumors are characterized by pronounced Receptor-Tyrosine-Kinase
(RTK) signaling. next This pattern is at least in part due to the fact that chemoresistance can be triggered by overexpression and/or activation of RTKs: ERB B1-4, IGF-1R, VEGFR 1-3, and PDGF-receptor family members [4, 5]. The underlying mechanisms of this over-activation are diverse and comprise at least the following mechanisms [6]. → Formation of a self-sustaining autocrine loop with secreted growth factors such as EGF, VEGF, PDGF, amphiregulin or others [5]. → Expression of intrinsically active RTK in the cell membrane [7]. → Over-activation of downstream signaling by imbalance of tumor-suppressor genes (p53, PTEN) and (proto-) oncogenes (PI3K, monomeric G Proteins such as RAS, RAF and others) [8] etc. In vitro investigations of cancer cell-lines derived from numerous tumor-entities find more regularly uncovered receptor tyrosine kinase (i.e. EGFR) activation by phosphorylation of specific residues located in the β-subunit [9, 10].
