  • Patent number: 10526309
    Abstract: This invention is in the area of improved therapeutic combinations for and methods of treating selected cancers using selected pyrimidine compounds having pan-TAM or Mer/Axl dual receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitory activity in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors. In one aspect, an improved treatment for select cancers is disclosed using selected pyrimidine compounds described herein in combination with an immune checkpoint inhibitor, for example, a cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA4) inhibitor, a programmed cell death protein 1 (PD1) inhibitor, or a programmed death-ligand 1 (PDL-1) inhibitor, or combination thereof.

  • Patent number: 9273056
    Abstract: The ectopic expression of Mer receptor tyrosine kinase (Mer) has been identified as a tumor cell survival gene product in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) cells and a potential cause of ALL chemoresistance. Hence, we investigated whether the development of small molecule Mer inhibitors was possible. A first aspect of the present invention is a compound (sometimes referred to as an “active compound” herein) of Formula I, IA, or IB.
