Structural basis and selectivity of sulfatinib binding to FGFR and CSF-1R.

ABSTRACT: Acquired drug resistance poses a challenge for single-target FGFR inhibitors, leading to the development of dual- or multi-target FGFR inhibitors. Sulfatinib is a multi-target kinase inhibitor for treating neuroendocrine tumors, selectively targeting FGFR1/CSF-1R. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms behind its binding and kinase selectivity, we determined the crystal structures of sulfatinib with FGFR1/CSF-1R. The results reveal common structural features and distinct conformational adaptability of sulfatinib in response to FGFR1/CSF-1R binding. Further biochemical and structural analyses disclose sensitivity of sulfatinib to FGFR/CSF-1R gatekeeper mutations. The insensitivity of sulfatinib to FGFR gatekeeper mutations highlights the indispensable interactions with the hydrophobic pocket
