# Targeted RTK Inhibitor Library for Drug Discovery
## Introduction to RTK Inhibitors
Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) play a crucial role in cellular signaling pathways that regulate cell growth, differentiation, and survival. Dysregulation of RTKs is associated with various diseases, particularly cancer. The development of targeted RTK inhibitors has revolutionized cancer therapy by offering more precise treatment options with fewer side effects compared to traditional chemotherapy.
## What is an RTK Inhibitor Library?
An RTK inhibitor library is a carefully curated collection of small molecules designed to target and inhibit specific receptor tyrosine kinases. These libraries are essential tools for drug discovery, enabling researchers to:
– Screen potential drug candidates
– Identify novel RTK inhibitors
– Optimize lead compounds
– Study structure-activity relationships
