InvivoChem Cat #:V0663CAS #:1073154-85-4 Purity >=98%Description: Defactinib (formerly known as VS-6063, PF-04554878) is a selective, ATP-competitive and orally bioactive small molecule inhibitor of the FAK (focal adhesion kinase) with potential antitumor activity. It inhibits the phosphorylation of FAK at the Tyr397 site in a time- and dose-dependent manner. FAK is a nonreceptor tyrosine kinase that plays a vital role in many oncogenic pathways. Increased FAK expression has been reported in a number of tumor types, including breast, colon, and ovarian cancers. Therefore, as an inhibitor of FAK, defactinib has potential antineoplastic activities.
