TROP-2 inhibitors represent a diverse spectrum of chemicals strategically targeting pivotal nodes within intricate cellular signaling pathways. Lapatinib and Gefitinib, recognized for their ability to inhibit EGFR, exert an indirect influence on TROP-2 by disrupting the EGFR pathway. This interference results in downstream alterations impacting TROP-2 expression and function. AZD5363 and Sorafenib contribute to TROP-2 modulation by inhibiting AKT and Raf kinase, respectively, thereby disturbing downstream signaling events intricately associated with TROP-2. Additionally, the proteasome inhibitor Bortezomib introduces an avenue for TROP-2 inhibition by affecting its turnover through interference with proteasomal degradation pathways.
Dasatinib strategically targets Src family kinases, establishing a connection to TROP-2 signaling pathways. Meanwhile, PI-103 and LY294002, inhibitors of PI3K/mTOR and PI3K, respectively, hold promise in modulating TROP-2 through the disruption of PI3K-related signaling. Axitinib, an inhibitor of VEGFRs, influences TROP-2 by disrupting angiogenesis-related pathways. Rapamycin and GDC-0941, targeting mTOR and PI3K, respectively, impact TROP-2 by disturbing mTOR and PI3K signaling. Finally, AZD8055, an mTOR inhibitor, contributes to TROP-2 modulation by influencing downstream events crucial for cell growth and proliferation. Together, these inhibitors collectively present nuanced insights into the intricate interplay between diverse signaling cascades and the regulation of TROP-2. They serve as invaluable tools for dissecting the complex regulatory mechanisms governing TROP-2 activity, offering researchers precise means to explore and understand the multifaceted roles of TROP-2 in cellular physiology.
