Mechanism of action of the drug
- Alectinib is a second-generation oral drug that selectively inhibits anaplastic lymphoma tyrosine kinase (ALK) activity. It is specifically used in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that express ALK-EML4 fusion protein (echinoderm microtubule-like protein 4) which induces the proliferation of NSCLC cells.
- Inhibition of ALK prevents phosphorylation and subsequent activation of STAT3 and AKT, resulting in decreased tumor cell viability. Both alectinib and its major active metabolite M4 exhibit similar in vivo and in vitro activity against many mutant forms of ALK.
