The company has various compounds in phase 1 clinical trials, including XL518, a small molecule inhibitor of the MEK, a component of the RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK signaling pathway; XL228, which targets insulin-like growth factor type 1 receptor, an RTK in a range of human tumors; XL019 that inhibits JAK2, a cytoplasmic tyrosine; XL139, which inhibits activation of Hedgehog signaling; XL413, a small molecule inhibitor of the serine-threonine kinase CDC7; and XL888, a synthetic inhibitor of HSP90, a chaperone protein that promotes the activity and stability of a range of regulatory proteins, including kinases. In addition, its preclinical and clinical development stage products that are out-licensed to third parties for the development and commercialization include XL880, an inhibitor of MET and VEGFR2; XL281, which targets RAF, a cytoplasmic serine/threonine kinase; XL652 targeting liver X receptors, which modulate genes involved in regulation of lipid and cholesterol homeostasis; XL550, a non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor; and FXR Program that targets Farnesoid X Receptor, a bile acid receptor.
