Biochemical profiling of marketed kinase inhibitors.

<p>A: Hierarchical clustering of inhibitory profiles of all kinase drugs in a panel of more than 300 biochemical kinase assays (%-inhibition at 1 μM inhibitor concentration). Trametinib, everolimus and temsirolimus show only minor inhibition, as mTOR and MEK kinase assays are not included in the panel. B: Potent biochemical IC₅₀s on the biological target correlate with more potent cellular IC₅₀s. C: Biochemical selectivity leads to a more selective response in the cell panel. Biochemical selectivity was quantified by selectivity entropy <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0092146#pone.0092146-Uitdehaag2" target="_blank">[33]</a> and the selectivity of targeting cell growth was expressed by the average IC₅₀ in the cell panel. Non-oncology drugs fasudil and tofacitinib were deleted from the analysis because of lack of response. Open circles: the mTOR and MEK inhibitors everolimus, temsirolimus and trametinib, respectively.
