The proto-oncogene c-Src is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase which is involved in the regulation of many cellular processes, such as differentiation, adhesion and survival. c-Src hyperactivation has been detected in many tumors, including neuroblastoma (NB), one of the major causes of death from neoplasia in infancy. We already reported a large...

The abnormal activation of Src family kinases (SFKs) due to deregulation of the B-cell receptor (BCR) signalling pathway provides a promising target for development of new pharmacological strategy to overcome the ibrutinib resistance in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). In this work, we demonstrated that Si409, a...

Si306, a pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine derivative recently identified as promising anticancer agent, has shown favorable in vitro and in vivo activity profile against neuroblastoma (NB) models by acting as a competitive inhibitor of c-Src tyrosine kinase. Nevertheless, Si306 antitumor activity is associated with sub-optimal aqueous solubility,...
