| Summary: | Lymphocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase (Lck), a non-receptor Src family kinase, has a vital role in various cellular processes such as cell cycle control, cell adhesion, motility, proliferation, and differentiation. Lck is reported as a key factor regulating the functions of T-cell including the initiation of TCR signalling, T-cell development, in addition to T-cell homeostasis. Alteration in expression and activity of Lck results in numerous disorders such as cancer, asthma, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, atherosclerosis, and neuronal diseases. Accordingly, Lck has emerged as a novel target against different diseases. Herein, we amass the research efforts in literature and pharmaceutical patents during the last decade to develop new Lck inhibitors. Additionally, structure-activity relationship studies (SAR) and docking models of these new inhibitors within the active site of Lck were demonstrated offering deep insights into their different binding modes in a step towards the identification of more potent, selective, and safe Lck inhibitors. |
