Tivantinib (ARQ197; by Arqule, Inc.) is an experimental anti-cancer drug. It is a bisindolylmaleimide that binds to the dephosphorylated MET kinase in vitro. Tivantinib is being tested clinically as a highly selective MET inhibitor.[1] However, the mechanism of action of tivantinib is still unclear.
Tivantinib displays cytotoxic activity via molecular mechanisms that are independent from its ability to bind MET.[2]
Possible applications include non-small-cell lung carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, and oesophageal cancer.[3]
