Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Merestinib is a potent, orally bioavailable, multi-kinase inhibitor primarily targeting MET (c-Met), with reported IC₅₀ values in the low nanomolar range (e.g., ~2–3 nM for MET). It also inhibits a range of receptor tyrosine kinases including AXL, RON, ROS1, NTRK1/2/3, FLT3, and DDR1/2. In preclinical studies, Merestinib demonstrated strong anti-proliferative effects in MET-amplified and MET-mutant cancer cell lines, with dose-dependent inhibition of MET phosphorylation and downstream signaling pathways (e.g., ERK and AKT). In xenograft models, Merestinib suppressed tumor growth in MET-driven tumors. It has also shown activity against NTRK fusion-positive cancers, leading to tumor regression in relevant models
